Earth Rangers

Earth Rangers is an organization dedicated to educating children about how their daily actions impact the world around them. We were fortunate to have the Earth Rangers Animal Ambassadors come and visit our school. We got to see some very cool live animals and learn about their amazing natural behaviours and their habitats.

Consider helping your child join the Earth Rangers - check out their web site.

Losar

Tibetan New Year starts on March 2nd. We planted "Lo phu" (sprouted wheat grass from winter wheat) which is often found on a Losar Altar in a Tibetan home. "Lo phu" has a connotation of the "first thing" symbolizing freshness and newness.
