Preparing!!

WOW!  Our class is getting ready for the Topeka Water Festival!  It is on Thursday September 23rd, which is magically NOT a regular school day!  Boo!!  Happily, my students are AWESOME and have agreed to come to school on a non-school day, travel to Topeka and make a presentation to elementary students!  Yay!  I learned yesterday that we will see somewhere around 200-250 youth on the 23rd - there will be ten sessions so that would be between 20-25 kids pers session.  That is HUGE!  Our presentation will be about why reusable grocery bags are significant to the environment.  Each participant will receive a bag to decorate and take home. 

This is going to be BIG I am excited to have the opportunity to take these students to this event.  They are all willing to go but they aren't entirely sure what they are getting themselves into!  It will be a long day but I think it will also be a very rewarding day for them!  That's my plan anyway!  Tune in for the ongoing saga and (eventually) pictures of the Topeka Water Festival!!
