Earth Day Parade at Lady Evelyne PS

June 21, 2007

Lady Evelyne P.S. held Earth Day celebrations on Friday April 20th. Students dressed in costumes that reflected a "Save the Earth" theme paraded through the school yard. There were many creative costumes made from reused materials. One grade 2/3 class dressed in black T-Shirts playing instruments made from recycled boxes and cans, provided the marching band music. The parade finished in the gym where all class participated in an EarthCARE Assembly.

The assembly reflected a variety of Earth Day themes. The assembly opened with a song from the Primary Division, "The Earth is made for YOU and Me". This was followed with a skit entitled "The Evolution of the Earth" and a presntation by a primary class featuring animal masks that the students had made.

Other acts included grade 2/3's using their home-made instruments to do a song called "Back to the Sea." The assembly finished with a presentation of an EarthCARE sculpture and a Renewable /Non -Renewable Banner. It was very successful afternoon celebrating Earth Day at Lady Evelyne.
