K-5th Adventures: World Octopus Day is a free, hands-on educational program at the Middle Creek Community Library where elementary school students learn about marine biology through stories and crafts. Children will explore the science of these intelligent sea creatures through interactive stations designed specifically for their developmental level. This program is strictly limited to children in kindergarten through fifth grade due to the complexity of the crafts and activities. Admission is entirely free, but you must secure a physical ticket at the library circulation desk starting at 4:00 PM on the day of the event. It is an ideal weekday afternoon stop to keep your school-aged kids active and learning after the school bell rings. The structured, 45-minute format fits easily into busy family schedules before dinner.
