Students at Bethesda Country Day School(R) Get "Buggy" in Celebration of Earth Day

On April 22, students at Bethesda Country Day School in Bethesda explored a bug’s life in celebration of Earth Day as they released thousands of ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing special ladybug hats. 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. Bethesda Country Day School teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at a young age.
