Welcome, Earth Day! Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the first observance of this popular non-secular holiday. This year’s Earth Day theme is Invest in Our Planet.

As an educator, you have the opportunity to spark a passion in students that will drive them to do their part. Young people can, and do, make a big difference in helping to protect the earth’s environment. Whatever Earth Day activities you have decided to organize for your students, know that your hard work researching and planning is appreciated!
