Catalayah Elementary

Mrs. Hall’s 1st Grade is celebrating Earth Day in full bloom! Her sweet students painted flower pots with bright, happy colors and planted sunflower seeds to show their love for our planet. What better way to care for the Earth than by adding a little beauty to it? From tiny seeds grow big dreams—and even bigger sunflowers! Happy Earth Day from Mrs. Hall’s blooming bunch! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🌍🌱 Happy Earth Day from Catalayah Elementary! 🌱🌍 We’re celebrating all day long with some amazing Earth-friendly activities happening around our school! First up: Mrs. Cole’s Pre-K class! Last October, her students saved the seeds from the pumpkins they carved—and today, we’re seeing the fruits (or should we say veggies) of their efforts! 🎃➡️🌱 They planted those seeds and have been caring for them ever since... and just look how big their pumpkin plants are now! 👀💚 Way to go, Pre-K! You’re showing us how small actions can grow into something beautiful. 🌿🌼 Stay tuned for more Earth Day fun!
