Exciting
Opportunity for Educators in Cobb
Through
a partnership with Cobb County Schools, Keep Cobb Beautiful (KCB) hosts
an environmental Earth Fair that provides opportunities for these schools
to participate in the many environmental education programs that KCB offers.
On
Tuesday , October 7, 2008 from 4:30 - 7:00p.m., at the Cobb
Civic Center , Keep Cobb Beautiful will host the fourth annual Earth Fair.
The
Earth Fair will consist of exhibits hosted by many local nonprofit organizations
and businesses that provide environmental education programs for the classroom.
This event will enable representatives from your school to speak directly
with these organizations and gather information on programs that are of
interest to your school. The Georgia Forestry Commission, Parks and Recreation,
Adopt A Stream, Pollution Prevention Assistance Division, and The Clean
Air Campaign are a few of the groups that will take part.
You
will also be able to find out about and register for the Green School
project, a classroom initiative for environmental programs that aligns
with state and national curriculum standards.
All
principals, PTA presidents, PTA Environmental Chairs, and school representatives
from each Cobb County School will be invited to attend.
Register
to attend at kcb.cobbcountyga.gov/tab2005.htm. You must preregister as
a representative from your school to attend.
Deadline for registration
is Tuesday, September 30, 2008.
