你知道四月是地球月吗？如果你在4月19日星期三在外面，你可能会看到许多小组和大组的孩子们前往野花池，它位于Copperfield学校旁边。他们准备好手套、塑料袋、朋友和良好的意愿，决心帮助清洁环境。这个活动中，学生、员工和志愿者团结一致。

冬天积累的垃圾迅速从池塘边缘和小径上消失。为什么我们要这样做？正如一个学生所反思的，“我们不希望地球到处都是垃圾。我们只有一个地球！”学生们明白人们要保持动物和土地的健康。通过清理垃圾，它可以帮助动物。例如，如果一只鸟吃了塑料或玻璃，它可能会生病。

所有参与其中的人还发现了一些意外的收获。他们有机会看到野生动物！红翅黑鸟、麝鼠、鱼和动物家园的证据都是一些宝藏。我们希望拯救我们的环境。照顾土地既有趣又辛苦。一个学生说：“我很累，但这是为了庆祝地球周。” Copperfield学校肯定是有爱心的！

Did you know that April is Earth Month? If you were outside on Wednesday, Apr. 19 you may have seen many small and large groups of children heading to Wildflower Pond, next to Copperfield School.  Equipped with gloves, plastic bags, friends and good intentions, they were determined to help clean the environment. Students, staff and volunteers joined together for this event. 

Litter that had accumulated over the winter quickly disappeared from the edge of the pond and the pathways. Why were we doing this?  As one student reflected, "We don't want the Earth to have garbage everywhere. We only have one Earth!"  Students understand that people are trying to keep animals and the land healthy. By cleaning up the garbage, it can help animals. For example, if a bird ate plastic or glass it might become sick. 

Everyone who was participating also discovered some unexpected gifts. They had the chance to see wildlife! Redwing blackbirds, muskrats, fish, and evidence of animal homes were some of the treasures that were found.

We are hoping to save our environment. Taking care of the land can be fun but hard work. One student said, "I was tired, but it was about celebrating Earth Week." Copperfield School certainly has heart!
