WELCOME TO OUR STREAM LEADERS BLOG!

We took a experiential field trip to the Clinton River to do water quality testing, learn more about our environment, and discover how many insects begin their life cycle. Our students were given cameras to document their day and our teachers helped take a few pictures too.  The captions are written Ms. Swartz's class.  We also would like to thank Michelle and Amanda from the Clinton River Watershed Council for their support, teaching, and for letting us borrow their waders. Chrysler helped us by purchasing our water testing kit for the field trip.  Lastly, our parents who volunteered to help us at each and every station as well as walking us to and from Dodge Park!  Here is our photo summary of what fun we had--We hope you enjoy it!  Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chrysler purchased and donated the water testing kit for our school!
