April 22: Earth Day

Four 3rd-grade classes visited from The Philadelphia School, about 60 kids in all.   We split into two smaller groups.  Each group took a nature walk down the Boxer Trail, led by their teacher.  Then we made potting soil in the wheelbarrow by digging compost and combining it with peat moss.  We put potting soil in little plastic cups and planted  sunflower seeds to take home.   It’s always a fun and educational day when TPS students and teachers visit Ormiston.
