About Event
Being Kind to the Earth: An Earth Day Community Celebration
Families are invited to a free, hands-on Earth Day workshop, "Being Kind to the Earth," on Saturday, April 12th, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Lake Travis Community Library. Hosted by Barbara Achilles Minardi, lead educator at Reach for the Stars ATX, the organization behind the Super Leaders after-school program, this event will inspire the leaders of tomorrow to take action in caring for the planet while learning about the vital role of water conservation in our community.
Special guest Stephanie Threinen from Lakeway MUD will give a kid-friendly presentation on how we can help conserve water and protect this vital resource for future generations. Plus, the Central Texas Water Coalition will have an interactive activity table, where kids can explore fun ways to protect our lakes and learn why responsible water use matters.
Children will also enjoy engaging activities such as making rain gauges, decorating reusable tote bags, creating water cycle models, and building with endless bricks at the Bricks & Minifigs Bee Cave play table, which emphasizes the 3 Rs—Rebuild, Reuse, and Reimagine®—inspiring creativity and reinforcing the importance of sustainability.
No registration is required, but RSVPs are appreciated to help with planning. For more information or to RSVP, visit reachforthestarsATX.com.
Families who RSVP in advance and attend will be entered into a raffle with prizes from local businesses, including Austin Zoo, Austin Tea Exchange, Pikopye’s Town, Bricks & Minifigs Bee Cave, and more!
