Greenup Day with the Mountain School

     Friday was Greenup Day for the Westshire School.  All the students in the school spent time picking up trash, weeding and generally cleaning up the school grounds.  In preschool, we had students from the Mount School visit and help us clean up our playground and the area right outside the fence.  The high schoolers raked the woodchips into piles, and the preschoolers used our trucks and buckets to transport the woodchips from the grass to the parts of our playground where we want the chips.  We also weeded and raked the leaves near that fence and picked up sticks that were all over the lawn.  After 30-45 minutes of cleaning up our playground, the preschoolers took their high school buddies to the "big kid" playground for some fun.

Snake Skin When snakes grow, they shed their skin. Snake Habitat Game The REAL thing!!
