HEIGHTS – Students of Dearborn Heights Montessori Center celebrated Earth Day Thursday with individual classroom activities and a habitat/school yard cleanup.
Each student also received a special Earth Day T-shirt with a design by fourth-grader Lucy Clements, whose artwork was selected from entries submitted by the school’s elementary and middle school students.
The school, which includes preschool through eighth grade, is at 466 N. John Daly in Dearborn Heights.
