Pickaway Elementary Celebrates Earth Day

The 3rd and 4th grade Student Council at Pickaway Elementary hosted the school's annual Earth Day on May 2nd. Students from the LEHS Ag classes also assisted with the learning stations. Some of the topics covered included bee keeping, tractors and farm equipment, water cycle and erosion. The biggest hit of the day was the petting zoo. Ag students brought sheep, goats, cows, rabbits, and a horse for the day. Another favorite station was the flower planting station. Each class planted pots of flowers that were then used in a raffle fundraiser for the Student Council.

Earth Day has become a favorite tradition. The Student Council would like to thank Engel’s Landscaping for donating flowers, Tim Fouch for donating 50+ flower pots, staff and students of Pickaway, and the high school students who spent the day helping us.
