Event Details
Kick off Operation EarthWatch at the library! Students in Grades K-5, accompanied by their caregivers, are invited to the MRSPL conference room to work on this month's activities: building Lego forest animals, reading a book about wildlife, button making, and brainstorming future Operation EarthWatch activities. Registration is requested for this program so that Operation EarthWatch knows how many participants to prepare for.
Operation EarthWatch is a free environmental action program open to students in Grades K-5 and gives these children the opportunity to learn about and promote environmental action at home and in the community. Each month (this year November-March), students will complete an activity sheet about a different area of earth stewardship. Students who complete and submit all the activity sheets will receive a free t-shirt, a certificate, and the chance to walk with Operation EarthWatch in the Falls Church Memorial Day Parade.
This program is a partnership of the Falls Church Village Preservation and Improvement Society (VPIS) and the Falls Church Environmental Sustainability Council.
