Nassakeag Elementary School fifth grade classes recently participated in two in-school workshops focused on protecting natural resources.
During a visit with the Suffolk County Water Authority, the students learned about the aquifers on Long Island and how our water can be polluted. Then, during a visit from Cornell Cooperative Extension, the students participated in a program called Storm Water Superheroes. During that program, students explored what they can do to help local bays and watersheds. They discovered how various kinds of pollution make their way to the bay and ocean and how it affects the local marine life.
