Carrington Academy Students in Suwanee Hold Ladybug Release

Students at Carrington Academy in Suwanee have caught the environmental bug! On April 22, students celebrated Earth Day and taking care of the planet by releasing 10,000 ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students were dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black clothing and antennae. In addition to the ladybug release, students read “The Grouchy Ladybug.”

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. Carrington Academy teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
