The event will include experts from around the country, from our local area, and include youth presenters. We know Climate Change will not be solved by one solution on its own, so this day will expose students to a variety of entry points where they can take action. The Climate Change Carnival is an outgrowth of the Shelburne Farm Climate Resiliency Fellowship that ARMS teachers, Kerrita Mayfield,Tiffany Thibodeau and Irene LaRoche took part in from 2019-2020. Joining in the coordination of this year's Climate Change Carnival is Rich Ferro. </span></b></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color: #351c75;">Irene LaRoche, Ed.
