The First Santa Fe Children's Water Fiesta...

was held on March 13 & 14, 2003, at the Sweeney Convention Center where students and teachers gathered to celebrate water. The Santa Fe Children's Water Fiesta continues to be a growing success. Educating students and teachers about water and its relationship to human and other natural resources in a fun and interactive atmosphere is the primary goal of the event. The activities are designed to help students understand that water is an essential and limited resource and teach what each of us can do to protect and conserve our precious water.

Our Vision is to:

• introduce students to new ideas, options, and solutions so they will conserve and protect water for the future
• lay the foundation for further learning
• reach as may children as possible

Project Objectives are:

• to educate students about water and its relationship to human and other natural resources in a fun and interactive atmosphere.
• to present water-related facts, concepts, and values through fun, hands-on learning activities
• to teach students about causes and prevention of non-point source pollution
• to provide water education resources to teachers
• to enable community organizations to participate in this water education program
