"Easter Egg Roll Goes 'EGGucational' with Jill Biden"

First Lady Jill Biden is turning the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll into an "EGGucational" experience, with various stations on the South Lawn and Ellipse teaching children about farming, healthier eating, exercise, and more. NASA even sent a souvenir wooden White House Easter egg to the International Space Station to help teach students about gravity. About 30,000 people, mostly children, are expected to participate in the festivities. The American Egg Board is donating about 30,000 eggs that were hand-dyed by a North Carolina farm, and for the first time, the hard-boiled eggs used for the traditional egg roll and egg hunt will be composted afterward and used to fertilize gardens and parklands throughout the region.
