Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) is an award-winning program that promotes awareness, appreciation, and stewardship of water resources through the dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aids, a timely opportunity as drought and El Nino battle it out here in California. This third local offering of Project WET will be held in two parts, on Tuesday, February 2 and Thursday, February 4 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Pueblo Vista Elementary, 1600 Barbara Road, Napa.  Food and beverages will be provided by sponsors.  Registrants must attend both sessions in order to complete the workshop.  Registration forms are available online in the Current News section at www.cityofnapa.org/water.

Participating teachers will receive a free copy of Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0, access to the Project WET Web Portal, and a $75 stipend.  Napa Valley Unified School District teachers have the option to earn 0.5 CEUs in lieu of the stipend.  The interdisciplinary nature of Project WET activities and their alignment with Common Core State Standards make them easy to insert into existing lesson plans.  Hands-on demonstration of the activities will make for engaging workshop sessions with fellow educators passionate about water issues.

Local Project WET sponsors are the City of Napa, Napa Sanitation District, County of Napa, and Napa County Resource Conservation District.  Interested teachers will find informational posters at their campuses.  Registration must be submitted by Friday, January 29 via email, fax, or mail as indicated on the registration form.  Only the first 20 will be accepted.  Registration questions may be directed to (707) 258-6002.
