25th Annual Earth Wellness Festival

Lincoln Public Schools and a host of community education partners held the 25th annual Earth Wellness Festival at Southeast Community College on March 20-21. The event drew roughly 3,000 Lancaster County fifth-graders to the college’s Lincoln campus for a series of creative and hands-on lessons in the areas of water, land, air and living resources. Festival organizers worked closely with LPS and other districts to ensure the activities and materials correspond with their fifth-grade curriculum. The 300 volunteers and presenters included educators, environmentalists and government representatives.
