The Worcester Preparatory School Environmental Club encouraged everyone to go green, brown and blue April 21 to celebrate Earth Day.

The Middle and Upper Schools united to raise awareness of the environment and take action to protect nature and the planet Earth. Everyone donated $1 to the WPS Greenhouse Fund that allowed them to dress casually in the colors of green, brown and blue to represent nature, earth and sky. In addition to cleaning up trash, planting seeds, watching TED Talks about the environment and tending to the children's garden.

Upper School and Middle school home rooms competed in a door decorating and poetry contest. Environmental Club members also visited the Lower School children to read books and talk about ways to help the environment.
