OUR MISSION

Over the two Festival days, students explored local water, science, and environmental topics that support Next Generation Science Standards. The Festival teaches youth that they can make a difference in protecting our water resources and the environment for today, tomorrow and for future generations. Year after year, teachers return to the Festival with their classes to engage in this unique educational opportunity.

CLASS REGISTRATION

Participation is limited and coordinated in advance.

Teachers are asked to register individually for their class and are encouraged to coordinate with their school when submitting registrations.

Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once capacity is reached, teachers will be directed to register for the waitlist. Confirmation and waitlist notices will be sent electronically.

Early registration is strongly encouraged.

TEACHER RESOURCES

Consideration to participate in the Festival is dependent on each teacher's commitment to:

• Create an account and submit an online application for their class.
• Review the Festival Checklist prior to the event.
• Complete all required forms, permission slips, and preparations.
• Ensure students follow Festival guidelines and conduct themselves respectfully.

Failure to meet these requirements may affect eligibility for current or future participation.

We look forward to welcoming participating schools to the 2026 Children's Water Education Festival.
