You say it's World Water Day? Well, happy World Water Day to you! Annually held on March 22nd, this year’s World Water Day has been dedicated to the theme of “cooperation.”  The global population is over 7 billion and the demand for fresh water continues to grow as world leaders unite for greater innovation, advocacy and solutions. Watch UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's video message for World Water Day HERE.

Locally, you can get involved with the Spokane Riverkeeper by celebrating World Water Day and an early kick off for Earth Month (all of April). The Spokane Riverkeeper has partnered with Jefferson Montessori to host an art open house and reception in the Community Building Lobby, 25 W. Main Ave, from 5-7pm today. Come enjoy an art gallery open house of clean-water themed art, poetry and photography created by 4th, 5th and 6th graders.
