Debbie Veeder with the Mississippi Wildlife Federation spoke with Mrs. Jacks's students today on the importance of protecting a watershed. Students were able to see how everyday items, like oil and fertilizer, cause harm to the watersheds through the use of an enviroscape model. Students also completed a hands-on activity where they tested water quality in the classroom.
