Eco Fair: All your questions, answered!
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 after-school 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)

When & where is Eco Fair?
