With Earth Day celebrations all around the country, Terraset remembers its “earthy” beginnings and celebrates too!
April 12, 2010 (Reston, VA): Terraset Elementary School’s Earth Day Carnival is back and will be even bigger and better this year. Scheduled for Sunday, April 25, this fun-filled, inexpensive, family event promises enjoyment for people of all ages. Held at Terraset Elementary School in Reston, (Ridge Heights Rd, off Soapstone Drive), the Carnival seeks to highlight Earth Day while bringing together its students (both present and past) and their friends and families. Terraset (meaning “set in the earth”) was built using an energy-conscious design over thirty years ago, hot on the heels of the original Earth Day in 1970.
The Earth Day Carnival will feature a variety of affordably priced rides, games and prizes. There will also be a Silent Auction, Cake Walk, and Tie Dying. Other offerings include non-profit groups and service clubs information tables and an array of convenience foods ranging from pizza and hot dogs to popcorn and other snacks.
Hosted by the Terraset PTA and Terraset family volunteers, the proceeds raised from the event will go towards Terraset’s educational supplies, afterschool programs and technology needs.
Discounted pre-paid carnival tickets are now available. Buy three tickets for $1 if pre-paid, or two tickets for $1 at the door. Typically, you will need 2-3 tickets for food, 1-2 tickets for games, and 3-5 tickets for rides.
The Earth Day fun kicks off at 11:30am with the Terraset Kool Katz 5k -- a 5k (or 1k if you prefer) Family Fun Run through the trails of Reston. A Silent Auction begins at 12 noon just as the Carnival is opening. Sponsored by Potomac Running Store, Whole Foods and Terraset PTA, this great day of family fun is one you won’t want to miss!
