Finley Middle School Students Celebrate Earth Day

Students in the Life Skills class at Finley Middle School recently explored the importance of Earth Day and the vital role we play in protecting our planet. Lessons focused on practical ways to keep the Earth clean, including litter prevention, recycling, and mindful environmental stewardship.

To celebrate their learning, the class planted a variety of perennials in the school courtyard. Because these plants return every spring, they serve as a perennial reminder of the school’s commitment to the environment.

"Watching these plants grow year after year will serve as a meaningful symbol of responsibility, growth, and respect for our environment," said Ms. Cain, the class teacher.

A special thank you goes to Mr. Medina for his hands-on assistance with the project, as well as to Ms. Cain and her teaching assistants for supporting the students throughout this educational journey.

Through initiatives like these, Finley Middle School continues to foster a culture of sustainability and civic pride, ensuring students grow alongside the world they work to protect.
