Musical Watershed Assembly Program
ZunZun is bringing their Musical Watershed Assembly to schools in Sonoma and Marin Counties. This 45-minute assembly engages students with musical segments focused on sustainability, water pollution, recycling, watershed ecology, storm drain run-off, sanitary sewer systems and water conservation. Students are made aware of how their actions impact the watershed around them and what they can do to help preserve and protect it. Students and teachers are active participants in the program getting up on stage, singing, dancing, and playing a variety of folkloric instruments. ZunZun’s programs are always lively, participatory, multilingual (Spanish, Portuguese, English) and energetic. This highly acclaimed group has performed in 14 countries throughout the Americas and have appeared on regional, national and international radio and television. This assembly program is sponsored by the Sonoma County Water Agency and is FREE to participating schools. Please contact the SCWA Education Program for additional information.
