5th grade

Upon return from Outdoor Ed., the 5th grade had a guest speaker from the SF Public Utility Commission. The title of the presentation was, "Save Our Bay". Students were shown through a short participatory skit, how the bay has become polluted through the years. The student included skit portrayed the activities from the Gold Rush years to modern day. From miners dumping chemicals to present day and improper garbage disposal which creates litter, students were presented a jug full if dirty,polluted water.
The students were challenged to become Water Heroes and pledge how they could make a difference.
Individually it may seem daunting to find ways to truly change habits - from shorter showers to not or axing bottled water - COLLECTIVELY we CAN make a difference.
