What is the purpose of the Eco Fair?

  • To teach kids of all ages how we can help our environment through recycling and repurposing materials.

Who is it for?

  • Bennett students (and siblings) of all ages, and their grownups.

What will we do at the Eco Fair?

  • Activities include making “trash to treasure” journals, writing letters to children in the hospital, putting together STEM kits out of old LEGOS, and zero waste gift wrapping. And don’t forget to bring your grocery list… we will have a local farmer selling his produce! 

Will there be an afterschool snack?

  • Yes, snacks and pizza will be provided.

What can I donate to support Eco Fair (whether or not I can attend)?

    • Craft Supplies: blank paper (with or without lines), rubber bands, markers/pencils/crayons, cardstock or cardboard (for use in the journals)
    • Diapers and Pull Ups (to donate to Share Our Spare)
    • Lego and Duplo Bricks

When & where is Eco Fair?
