Topeka celebrated Earth Day for an entire week in April! Topeka Drive PTA organized a week full of green activities for our students, including: Walk to School Day, Beautification Day and No Trash Day. Teachers, parents and students joined in the fun and participated in all the activities and learned all about conservation of our planet. Green Week culminated with the Recycled Art Exhibit on Friday, in which over 20 students participated and submitted artwork created with recycled materials!
