Video: It’s Back to the Land for Earth Day

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) -A school in Columbus gets a head start on Earth Day by getting back to the Earth.

Students at Annunciation Catholic School spent much of Friday working in their class garden.

The kids spent time prepping the beds, planting, weeding, and mulching. And with the sunny weather, they got a little extra Vitamin D.

The garden project is a partnership between Annunciation and MUW’s Passport to Wellness program, which helps teach students about healthy lifestyles.

April 22nd has been recognized as Earth Day since 1970.
