Operation EarthWatch is an environmental
action
program
for City of Falls Church elementary school students at Mt. Daniel, Thomas Jefferson, and St. James. The program is organized by the Education Task Group of the Environmental Sustainability Council of the City of Falls Church and was established in 1993. About 200 children participate in the program each year.

Participation runs from October through March. During these months, your child will perform activities that demonstrate Earth stewardship by recycling and reuse, waste reduction, energy conservation, nature care, and water conservation. Students are welcome to participate at any time during the school year. If a student takes part for all six months, s/he will receive an Operation EarthWatch T-shirt and have the option of marching with us in the Memorial Day parade.
 
Students who participate for K-5 at Mt. Daniel and Thomas Jefferson, or K-6 at St. James, will have their names placed on a plaque sponsored by the Lions Club and displayed at their school.
Civic organizations and businesses in the City sponsor the purchase of our T-shirts!
