Walk for Water

Friends,

Today is World Water Day and to celebrate our community's commitment to clean water, the City of Bellingham held their 8th annual Walk for Water event just two days ago between the Fairhaven Village Green and Boulevard Park.  Along the path, a mixture of posters created by students  in our  Green Classroom Certification program  and signs with water facts were showcased. 

We're in 72 classrooms and counting and we'd thought you'd love to see what a group of our school kids created in honor of preserving water resources. Please check out the poster selections below. Your support makes it possible for us to educate tomorrow's leaders on the importance of protecting our water, air and the ecosystems on which we all depend. Thank you and enjoy the pics!
