Students at LePort Montessori School Hold Earth Day Ladybug Release
Students celebrated Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing beneficial bugs into their schoolyard to help local vegetation
On April 22, students at LePort Montessori School in Solana Beach explored a bug’s life in celebration of Earth Day as they released ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students additionally planted flowers around the school and learned about the role plants play in their local ecosystem.
Leading up to Earth Day, students learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. LePort School teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
