Sarah: My mom’s beef stir fry.

Owlkids: Where is the coolest place you’ve ever been?

Sarah: London, England. I love the theatre there!

Owlkids: What’s your favourite color?

Sarah: Yellow and green.

Owlkids: What’s your favourite animal?

Sarah: Pandas.

Owlkids: Who inspires you?

Please join me in welcoming Sarah to the team!

Earth Day Puzzle Contest!

**THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED.  THANK YOU FOR ENTERING!**

April 22nd is Earth Day! Although it is one day, we should always be thinking about Earth and how we can all do our part in protecting it from pollution. Some ideas include:

• REDUCE: use both sides of paper when printing and use scrap paper whenever possible for homework or doodling
• RECYCLE: put paper, glass and plastic in the recycling bin
• REUSE: using refillable bottle instead of single-use plastic water bottles
• REPURPOSE: use recycled materials for craft projects
• REFUSE: stop and think if you really need something before buying it

For Earth Day, put your thinking cap on and brainstorm some ideas for helping the planet!

For a chance to win two Earth-themed puzzles from Ravensburger, add your eco-friendly ideas in the comments below. Don’t forget to leave your name and age, too.
