Chesterbrook Academy Students Celebrate Earth Day with Ladybug Release

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool Preston in Cary recently bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released ladybugs throughout the schoolyard on plants, flowers and trees. Students were dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black clothing and handmade headbands. 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. Chesterbrook Academy teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
