Yesterday's news is today's Earth Day project!

April 22, 2026

For an engaging Earth Day project, students in Mrs. Draiss’ second-grade class at Tackan Elementary explored what it means to be resourceful—transforming everyday materials into works of art. Using scraps from past projects and recycled newspapers, students embraced sustainability while letting their creativity shine.

From koala bears and sharks to even a dinosaur, each student selected their own subject and brought it to life. These young artists proved that with a little imagination, yesterday’s news can become today’s masterpiece!
