D-E Celebrates Earth Week

Apr 27, 2026 | Clubs & Service Learning, Recent News, School Life Highlights

In honor of Earth Week, the Upper School Environmental Club planned a series of events to raise awareness about sustainability practices. They also created a slide show of facts about climate change and simple ways to make a big difference that were displayed on the TV screens around campus. In addition to Advisory Period activities, there were group events, including an opportunity to come together on Earth Day, April 22, to enjoy a “dirt cup” made of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms, while “The Lorax” movie played in the background. “It’s a super chill way to celebrate Earth Day while also appreciating what keeps life growing all around us,” said Environmental Club leader Shreya Patel ’26. Students also gathered in Hulst House for a screening of “Our Planet,” a documentary that showcases the wonder and fragility of Earth’s natural habitats (and Crumbl cookies). The week closed with an Earth-fact-themed interactive trivia game. “We hope this week helped you learn something new and think a little more about the impact we all have on the world,” said Shreya. Here’s to protecting our planet and preserving our future!
