Huron Valley Earth Day by Katheryn Krupa

Earth day is celebrated every April, yet here in Highland Township and Milford, Michigan there was a very special afternoon of family fun! On Sunday, April 26, 2015, the Huron Valley Green Team and Carls Family YMCA off Commerce Road in Milford hosted a free earth day event packed with activities for families, children and anyone who can attend. There was face painting, arts and craft activities, dancing, top notch musicians, and the International Academy put on a "green" fashion show (one year there was a dress made entirely of brochures!). There were a wide variety of booths with everything from how to protect your lake's water quality to the "insect man" with cocoons, caterpillars and info on insects. Finally, winners of the Huron Valley earth day poster contest were given their awards and the YMCA was decorated with dozens of awesome posters created by local students. This is an annual event put on by the Huron Valley Green team each year so if you missed the fun this year, I urge you to make sure you attend next year's earth day.

EARTH DAY POSTER CONTEST: In celebration of earth day there was a poster contest for all Huron Valley elementary and middle school students. The theme this year was Save Earth's Animals: Protect Animal Habitats. A wide variety of excellent posters were submitted and most even included in-depth research on the problem of loss of animal habitat that is causing monarchs, tigers, pandas and other animal's to lose their homes. These posters were put up around the gym, so everyone was able to enjoy our HVS student's ideas and creativity.
