Last Tuesday we had a very fun Earth Day. We celebrated the day with "Dirt in a Cup" treats for participants and staff. This treat consists of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms. This activity was planned by the Achiever's Club and two parent volunteers, who are parents of Achiever Club members, helped serve the treats. Participants in Area Plaid actually planted actual seeds in a cup and hope to transfer the plants to our garden. Lastly, participants also made posters for Earth Day and staff voted on their favorite posters. There was a four-way tie and all winners received a Dairy Queen gift card! Talk about a fun-filled Earth Day! 🌎
