Earth’s Birthday Project celebrates students who took the Sunflower Challenge! Each one planted a seed and took care of their sunflower until it bloomed. Some grew higher than a house; others blossomed in a pot; everyone learned from giving a gift to the Earth. Take a look at all the giant sunflowers and smiling faces - join them by taking the challenge and planting sunflower seeds!
