For spring 2016, like every other year, the clothing and colors are different and in my

opinion better. This spring the girls are wearing loads of pastel colors. For the boys

this spring the colors are greens, browns, blues, and pinks- that’s right pink. Hope

you enjoy the article and have a great fashion fun spring.

These are colors that the girls are wearing: blues, pinks yellows and, greens

and an example of clothing. This girl is wearing pink shorts a tank top with

pink and yellow ruffle flowers and a gray cardigan. She looks ready for a day

at the beach or out at the park with some friends.

Spring colors for the boys include shades of green, brown, and blue. Accent colors this season are yellow, white , and pink. Bermuda shorts, graphic tees, and retro sneakers are also hot at the moment.

Earth Day

Friday, April 22

Earth Day is a yearly celebration. Events taking place on Earth Day center

around environment protection. Earth day was first celebrated on April 22,

1970. Earth Day is celebrated in over 192 countries. Our goal this year is to

make it “fun to be clean”. Another focus is to prevent pollution from ever

happening again. Earth Day is a great day to teach children and adults

about not littering and helping their community.
