Water. It 's one of our state's most precious and valuable natural resources. Today's young people are the key to conserving and maintaining our water supply for tomorrow. Carmichael Water District invites teachers and students to participate in a free program in spring of each year designed to teach students in grades K-8 about using water efficiently.

Be Water Wise, presented by the Regional Water Authority and The Sacramento Bee's Newspapers in Education (NIE) program, teaches kids to practice water efficiency in every-day activities. Students learn where water comes from and ecology through math, science and the arts, fun puzzles, investigative work and activities.

There is no cost to participate in the program because the Carmichael Water District through the Regional Water Authority sponsors your enrollment. To learn more about Be Water Wise or sign up for the program, please call The Sacramento Bee at (916) 321-1785 (enter option #1) or visit www.sacbee.com
