Earth Day

For almost one-quarter of a Century, Escuela del Sol has made Earth Day one of the highlight events of every year. Earth Day symbolizes so much of what is at the core of Escuela's educational philosophy: the view of life as an inter-connected web encompassing all creatures, all forms of life in our big amazing wonderful universe.

Every year students choose a variety of activities and goals, from raising funds for rain forest preservation to working on local watershed reclamation projects. Learning about sustainability, water conservation and various alternative energy sources is at the heart of our annual event. Lessons and activities culminate in an annual celebration that includes a neighborhood parade, musical performances by Escuela students, a family potluck and games on the school lawn.

Earth Day is one of Escuela's unique traditions - an event that current families look forward to and that former students remember with great affection.
