You could argue one of the biggest words of this last year or so living through a global pandemic has been “Connection”. Human connection, connecting to each other through technology, connecting with others through compassion and friendship. That’s why a story like this one is so special.
Two first graders in Las Vegas became friends online during the pandemic. Just recently they were able to actually meet up in person! One of the kids knew about the meetup, but the other girl’s mom kept it a secret. When they both saw each other in the park they meet in it was this amazing moment of joy and surprise on their faces. So sweet.

Happy Earth Day! I hope you’re recycling or planting a tree later to celebrate.
I always thought we had Earth Day on April 22nd because it’s Spring and the weather is nice enough to plant something or go outside and do earth-y things. But that’s not the reason at all actually.
Back when the first Earth Day happened over 50 years ago in 1970 (which by the way I definitely thought it had been around long before that) they set the day as April 22 because it fell between spring break and final exams for colleges. Their reasoning behind that strategy was hoping it would make it more likely for all the college students and young people to participate in Earth Day activities. Smart idea!
