Mrs. Lester's Environmental Science class took a field trip today to the Mount Vernon Water Treatment Plant. Students got to see firsthand how clean water makes its way to our homes — the perfect way to wrap up our unit on Water Treatment and explore potential career opportunities in the field.
A huge thank you to Eric and Kyle for taking the time to show us around and explain all the amazing work that keeps our community’s water safe!
Students also practiced being Future Focused by greeting professionals with confident handshakes and thoughtful questions.
