Earth Day

Spring has finally sprung!  I hope you all get the chance to enjoy some nicer weather this week.  I would have loved to go the Pirates' home opener today.  Were any of you lucky enough to go?

In case you didn't know, Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd.  Of course, we should take care of our planet every day, not just on Earth Day, but this is a great opportunity to really focus on being good environmental stewards.  Here are some fun activities you can try:
