Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Exton Release Ladybugs for Earth Day
Students celebrated Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing 3,000 beneficial bugs into their schoolyard
On April 20, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Exton explored a bug’s life in celebration of Earth Day as they released more than 3,000 ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students and teachers were dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black clothing and antennae.
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.
