Frazier Mountain High School presented their fourth annual Earth Day Festival on Thursday, April 11. The Falcons hosted about 260 future Falcons (Frazier Park School elementary students, kindergarten through fourth grade) in the FMHS gym.

FMHS science students explained a variety of science project experiments and demonstrations to the younger students, and then led them in activities to reinforce the project ideas.

Subjects covered included various types of pollution, soil, plants and aquaponics systems.

Earth Day, April 22, began in 1970 as a celebration by 20 million Americans celebrating clean air, land and water.
