Click here to see a wonderful news story about Mother Earth that aired on October 13, 2009.

"Mother Earth" began in 1998 as a youth environmental education program designed to teach elementary school children respect and care for the earth. For the 2010-11 school year, 25 Oklahoma City public schools will participate in the FREE program. The program begins with a play about the environment performed by professional actors.  These actors play Mother Earth, Darlin' Daisy and Larry the Litterbug.  Students have the opportunity to meet Mother Earth in person and experience the effects of littering in this interactive play. Lesson plans that focus on subjects such as recycling, littering, water conservation and anti-graffiti education are provided to all of the fourth-grade teachers at "Mother Earth" schools. Also provided are environmental interactive trunks which contain supplies for the lesson plans and additional activities that may be set up as learning centers in the classroom. For more information call 525-8822.
