Meet the Lorax at Party for the Planet!

Celebrate conservation with us all weekend long at Party for the Planet! Join us April 23-24 from 10 am-3 pm for lots of fun and educational earth-friendly activities. Enjoy a special screening of the classic film The Lorax at 11:30 am and 3 pm in the Deramus Auditorium. Plus, the Dr. Seuss character will be on hand for photo ops from 10 am to 3 pm!

Bring in old cell phones, iPods, iPads, tablets, and mp3 players to our Eco-Cell recycling station, and you will receive a free gift.
