Since Earth Day falls on a Sunday this year Tempe High is celebrating their Earth Week this week. A big event is planned and our videography team will be there documenting. We will be sure to share the video and the happenings of the day with you, but in the meantime you may want to take a look at our Earth Day guide under the toolkit tab.
