River-friendly Teacher Academy, The Watershed Institute

Thursday August 20, 2026
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Schools are places for inspiration and change. By becoming a River-Friendly school, you can immerse your students in water related lessons and projects while improving the health of local waterways. Our River-Friendly Teacher Academy will prepare you to get your school River-Friendly certified. The training will focus on the four tenants of the certification program: • Water Quality • Water Conservation • Wildlife and Habitat Enhancement • Outreach to Parents and Communities

You will learn from the Watershed Institute’s Educators, River-Friendly Coordinator, plus hear from local teachers who have successfully attained River-Friendly Certification. All teachers will also become certified in Project WET (Water Education Today) and leave with a curriculum guide of lesson plans for use in your classroom. This program is suitable for teachers in grade K- 12 who want to teach their students about clean water and help their school to become River-Friendly.

7:30 PM

Dubbed “The Villain of Broadway” by Playbill, Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Patrick Page (Hadestown) steps into the darkness and invites us along. In a tour-de-force performance, “one of America’s finest classical actors”(The Wall Street Journal) turns to the twisted motivations and hidden humanity at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest villains, embodying Macbeth’s ruthless ambition, Iago’s seductive manipulation, Richard III’s gleeful cunning, Shylock’s fury, and more.
