They also talked about the impact of hazardous practices on the environment. Students were given informational activity packets to complete, as well as stickers stating ways to conserve water.
Salisbury Zoo (LEAF project): Each year, 4th grade students at our school attend a trip to the Salisbury Zoo as part of the LEAF project. This program includes learning about animal habitats and adaptations, natural resources, and paper making.
Delmarva Power: Delmarva Power partnered with our school to sponsor the "Energize Education" program. Each student participated in the program and received a free take-home kit that included energy-saving products to install at home that resulted in electricity, natural gas, and water savings.
