Students at Evergreen Academy Preschool in Issaquah Soar into Earth Day with Ladybug Release

Students at Evergreen Academy Preschool in Issaquah recently 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. Before the release, students also planted flowers and plants throughout the school’s garden. 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. Evergreen Academy Preschool teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at a young age.
