What to do
• The best way to spend Earth Day is to relax on a picnic blanket with your family/friends and watch the stage performance. There will be lots of fun games and activities organized by teachers, RBIS parents and local charities/businesses.
Lunch
• RBIS Café, Bubba’s Texas-style Bar-B-Que, Peter’s Tex Mex, Bastiaan’s Bakery, and Bukhara Grill, will be selling food at Earth Day.
• The food court will be inside RBIS. We ask that you buy your food and take it back to the zoo for a picnic while watching the stage performances.
• In the spirit of Earth Day we encourage parents to bring in a reusable picnic set including plates, utensils and water bottles. We are dedicated to reducing the amount of plastic plates and cups waste at the event. Of course if you forget, the food vendors will be able to provide you with a plate. We ask you to use the recycling bins located in the zoo and on campus. Thanks!
Transport
• Please walk, ride a bike, use public transport, or car pool. There will be no parking available on the day.
Bad Weather
• In case of bad weather we will hold a smaller Earth Day festival inside our school for RBIS families only. On the morning of Earth Day, April 24th please check our website after 8am for more information www.rbischina.org. We will also send a mass text to families at 8:00am.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you.
