Children’s Water Festival

Rio Rancho Children’s Water Festival improves the understanding of good water management principles by the students, teachers and parents who participate in the events. The principal focus of the Festival is to educate fourth grade school children about water and its relationship to human and other natural resources in a fun and interactive atmosphere. Students in the picture on the left are learning about the watershed and pollutants by polluting and making it rain on a watershed model.

Earth Day

SSCAFCA joins the City of Rio Rancho Earth Day celebration that highlights efforts to increase energy efficiency, improve green practices, decrease our carbon footprint and promote sustainable living. The “Bag Monster” brings awareness to the use of plastic bags by showing how many plastic bags the average consumer uses in one year.

Working with the City of Rio Rancho and Keep Rio Rancho Beautiful volunteers help remove tons of trash every year from arroyos and open space.
