Wintonbury celebrated Earth Day yesterday by planting sunflower seeds. Sprouting plants will be observed in the classrooms and the green house. Every child will take a plant home and the rest will be planted on the school grounds.
Students at Wintonbury have collected 600 milk cartons to be used for planting on Earth Day. As cartons were added, students practiced graphing and counting skills. Each child will plant sunflower seeds on Earth with the help of parent volunteers.
