Gilbert Public Schools fourth graders participated in the district’s 15th annual Water Festival, an event designed to teach students about water conservation and the importance of water in the desert.
The two-day festival brought together students, the Arizona Project WET program and the Town of Gilbert for a series of hands-on activities intended to encourage students to think like scientists while learning about water resources.
The festival functions as an educational field trip for fourth-grade classes, introducing students and teachers to lessons on water conservation, regional water resources and potential careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
