Every Drop Counts

Every Drop Counts inspires students to protect and conserve a precious natural resource - water! Students will learn about the key characteristics that make water so crucial to our survival through interactive activities and engaging demonstrations. Students will evaluate the distribution of all the water on earth, and will discover the relationship between climate change and our access to water. They will also learn the many ways they can prevent water waste and protect our water sources from pollution. The program is geared toward students in 7th – 9th grades, but can be customized for all ages.

Thanks to our partnership with Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County Schools, PEA provides the program in 9th grade classrooms across the county.

Every Drop Counts is provided free of charge to non-profit groups, schools and libraries, thanks to the generous support of the James G. Hanes Memorial Fund, the Lovett Foundation, Twin City Garden Club, Reynolda Rotary Club, and
