On Friday, April 22, students at Chesterbrook Academy preschool in Moorestown explored a bug’s life in celebration of Earth Day as they released more than 900 ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students will be dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black colors and antennae.
Leading up to Earth Day, students are learning that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could
otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. Chesterbrook Academy teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at a young age.
