W.G. Mallet School Kindergartener Ella Tyler holds an earthworm in her hand on Monday, April 22, near the school in Farmington. Tyler, along with the rest of her class, got a lesson on why earthworms are so important to the soil and the environment, but only a few were brave enough to hold one in their hands.
