Catskill Middle School Jr. Ambassadors Celebrate Earth Day

In the spirit of Earth Day, the CES Jr. Ambassadors Club headed out to the playground to pick up all the litter that had accumulated over the winter months (which ended up not being that much – two pounds in total – go Cats!!). Then they took a walk on the school grounds and down the Nature Trail, where they listened for birds and checked out the budding trees and flowers while enjoying being outdoors together!
