Yesterday was the 19^th Annual Children’s Clean Water Festival, and as always, the kids had a blast learning about water.

The Portland Water Bureau is one of many sponsors for the event, and our staff led classroom sessions to teach about protecting groundwater, engineering pipes, and understanding the water cycle.

Here’s a local news story about this annual event that brings fourth and fifth graders together to learn in a fun-filled hands-on event:

I’ve volunteered as a classroom guide for several years, and always enjoy seeing the kids get excited about water. I always learn new something myself, and I loved watching the entertaining and educational Snail People. Mo Phillips was also fantastic, as always.
