Our fifth-grade students had an exciting and meaningful field trip to Operation SPLASH in Freeport! Students had the opportunity to head out on the water by boat and take an active role in helping to clean up pollution from the local waterways. Along the way, they learned more about Long Island’s ecosystem and the importance of keeping our water clean and healthy.
This hands-on experience brought science and environmental responsibility to life. Our fifth graders saw firsthand how pollution can affect the environment and discovered ways they can help protect the beautiful waterways that are such an important part of Long Island. It was a memorable day filled with learning, teamwork, and making a positive difference in our community!
