Tu B’Shvat is an Ancient Jewish Earth Day. Some refer to the holiday as “the birthday of the trees.” During our Secpta celebration we will make our own trail mix with dried fruits and nuts brought to us by the trees (please contact Kate at fieldtrips@secpta.net if your child has an allergy, so we can plan accordingly). We will also paint cookies, eat snacks, make sustainable crafts, and work on a special project together that will be displayed at City Hall. Our friend Julia from JHUB will also read a story and share about how she celebrates the holiday.
