Locust Valley middle and high schoolers spent late April doing their part to keep the school beautiful and promoting Earth Day activities. The high school’s Animal and Environmental Club voted on posters created by middle and high school students that portrayed the importance of protecting the environment. Sixth graders Kat Ehni, Stefano Reeves and team members Michaela Sellers and Isabella Moreano took home first, second and third place, respectively.
On April 25 and 26, middle schoolers helped care for the plants in the school courtyards as part of the Farm to Table health class project. Project coordinator Tina Hament, faculty members and the high school’s Garden Club and Animal and Environmental Club helped students tear out weeds, add soil, create compost and plant seeds in the high school and middle school gardens. The two-day program is part of the students’ nutritional unit which challenges them to think about where their food comes from.
