April 17, 2011 - Earth Day Award for 4th Graders. Edgewood fourth graders received first prize at the Westchester County's Earth Day Awards for developing and implementing an Earth Education Ecosystem Project. Students made self-sustaining ecosystems out of recycled soda bottles. This vivarium featured a homemade aquarium on the bottom and terrarium on top. Students studied environmental changes when adding pollutants to the vivarium as a means to prompt discussion on practical solutions for helping keep the Earth healthy and happy! The ceremony took place at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla, NY.
