May EcoClub Meeting: the thunderstorm kept us indoors again, but we worked hard recycling, making plans for projects, and building a compost bin.

Look at all the learning the Beech Tree ES Guardians of the Earth did this year! 🌎 @BTESNatalie Nadya Abu-Rish Mrs. Rios, M. Ed. (she/her) FCPS Get2Green
