Students celebrate Earth Day at Adler Park School with a variety of activities

Adler Park School students celebrated Earth Day Friday with activities that ranged from feeding birds to learning about trees.

Students in the full-day kindergarten class at the Libertyville school made bird feeders using pine cones, lard and bird seed. Other students explored the life of bees, and learned about gardening, farming, nutrition and how cotton is made.

First-graders learned about the life cycle of apple trees starting with the seed, through the growth of trees, to the leaves changing colors in the fall and how apples develop.

Students also had a waste-free lunch.
