Monmouth County Friends of Clearwater is partnering with Whole Food to demonstrate their popular TEF environmental education program at the Middletown Whole Foods Supermarket on Saturday, April 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Clearwater's Traveling Environmental Festival (TEF) is ready to bring your group an exciting, hands-on interdisciplinary educational program designed to demonstrate the interdependency of all plants and animals. Our staff will guide students on a fascinating exploration of our environment, starting at the base of the food web with the plankton and culminating with humans. Through hands-on interconnected stations--including plankton study, live exhibits aquarium, water chemistry, watershed model, creative dramatics, and music, the young mind will be brought to a deeper understanding of our need for clean, clear water. The dependence of one species on another, the effect of human industry on our environment, and the role each of us plays in shaping the present and future through choices we make are the themes of our program. TEF is MCFC's key educational tool for children of all ages. While the TEF's target audience are grades 2 through 6, the MCFC educators—working with local curriculum advisors—have tailored the curriculum to accommodate older and younger audiences. We have delighted over 10,500 students from dozens of schools throughtout the state. We're looking to sign up additional school children to delight.
