Holly Hill 1st graders celebrate Earth Day in Coffee County |
In observance of Earth Day on April 22, 2009, Holly Hill 1st graders in
Enterprise saw first hand the effect that pollution can have on wildlife in our
ponds and streams.
Sue Leverett with the Coffee County Soil and Water Conservation District read
a story to the students entitled "The Disappearance of Mudpuppy Pond." She
followed with a dmonstration of the destruction of a frog’s habitat due to
littering, careless mining practices, and release of manufacturing waste.
Students were encouraged to develop good conservation habits to preserve our
natural resources early in life and to practice Earth Day principles every day.
Earth Day coloring books and literature with ideas on how to reduce, reuse,
and recycle items were distributed to each student.
