MMS HSA News - Week 34 MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION Tomorrow distance learning resumes! Also, this week - even during a pandemic - environmental leaders around the world will commemorate Earth Day.  Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. 2020 will mark 50 years of celebrating Earth Day.   In researching Earth Day for this newsletter, we found that it was a book from 1962 -- Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring - that would stir this environmental movement. This book, which sold more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries, raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the inextricable links between pollution and public health.  Earth Day 1970 would come to provide a voice to this emerging environmental consciousness and put environmental concerns on the front page.  Columbia High School's Environmental Society will be celebrating Earth Day with some events.   Good luck this week!  :)  Kelly & Veronica  Distance Learning For more information on distance learning, please click here.
