MORE ECO-KIDS ZONE DETAILS:

MOM’s Organic Market is a place to bring families.  Shopping at MOM’s is an experience in good-health and nutrition.  Teaching little ones how to eat an organic, well balanced diet full of fruits  &  vegetables develops life-long habits that keep them strong and healthy.  Mom’s will provide a fun atmosphere to validate these behaviors.  Mom’s staff will be filling balloons, putting on kids tattoos, handing out recycling coloring sheets, crossword puzzles, and other kid-friendly literature.

The students at Geneva Day School are making

recycled sculptures to be displayed in the Kids Zone.

They want to show other children their creativity and that they understand recycling. Students at Potomac's Geneva Day School recently donated 980 pounds of food to the Manna Food Center, after Bert and Ernie stopped by the school to tell students about hunger.
