Annual Walk To School Day
April 22 (Earth Day)
Students living in the HSES neighborhood are encouraged to walk or bike to school during our annual Walk to School Day. Students riding a bus follow their normal routine except that they are dropped off at Howard Run Drive., 0.8 mile away from our school. Students then walk to school. Teachers are stationed along the route to help provide a safe walking path. Upon arrival, students are greeted with Earth Friendly signs created by the students.
Earth Day T-Shirts - Celebrating the Earth Every Day!
Since 2007, students and staff have purchased Earth Day T-shirts from the Earth Force Team. On Earth Friendly Wednesdays, they are encouraged to wear their t-shirts to celebrate Earth Day every day.
