Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Herndon Soar into Earth Day with Ladybug Release
Students spread their environmental wings and released thousands of ladybugs into the environment to improve the health of local vegetation
On April 21, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on McNair Farms Drive in Herndon 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. During the event, students also planted vegetables on their school’s campus. 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 a young age.
