On September 23, Grade 4 students participated in a Floating Classroom field trip aboard the Northern Star in Newport. Building on their Grade 3 Youth Discovery Program that our sister schools attended together last spring, this hands-on learning experience focused on watershed health and included activities such as turbidity observation, collecting and identifying benthic invertebrates, and exploring environmental and historical aspects of Lake Memphremagog. The program was presented by the Memphremagog Watershed Association in partnership with several local environmental organizations.
