HS Students Celebrate the Earth

Babylon Junior-Senior High School students recently celebrated the rarth and the importance of taking care of the planet during an evening program called “Earth Day Comes Naturally.”

Projects focused on: artwork created with recycled materials, the history of Earth Day, the toll that pollution is taking on the planet, and depictions of the Earth.

Event attendees had a chance to sign a pledge to help clean up and protect the earth.
