Daily Announcements for April 22, 2026
Happy Earth Day! Today is a global holiday that originated in the US in 1970! We should be proud that our country started Earth Day, but it is a big responsibility to uphold, so make sure that you are doing your part by reducing, reusing, and recycling. A tip of the day to help reduce waste is turning off the water while brushing your teeth. Less than 1 percent of water is accessible for humans to use, so let's work together to save our water! Tomorrow’s Dress up day is to wear animal print.
