Earth Day filled the front grounds of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Convent in Livonia, Michigan with children’s laughter, as 58 Montessori Center of Our Lady students ran about searching for pinecones, acorns and feathers.


The weather was beautiful, the children were excited, and smiles spread across the sisters’ faces as they helped the children find the items listed on their bags. On Earth Day especially, the convent’s woods and lawn become the perfect classroom. After the hunt, the sisters treated all the children to fruit snacks shaped like bugs, bees and butterflies.
