Newbern 2008 International Environmental Fair

Newbern held its annual International Fair May 9, 2008. The theme of the fair this year was the environment. Teams of teachers and students collaborated to transform their hallways into environmental learning museums. Teams competed to present the best decoration and information on environmental issues for the area of the world they chose. Students, teachers and visitors traveled from North and South America, Africa, Australia-New Zealand, India, Greece and the Islands of the Caribbean.

This year students were able to participate in several learning experiences such as a Native American Dance presented by Curtis Sutton (VHS), Birds & Worms, Pass the Peas Please, How Does Your Garden Grow?, Tree Cookies (PLT), Water Filtering (Project Wet), and a Greek Dance (Gravlee).
