Joined by coach and biology teacher Kim Neill, five Stouffville students from SDSS took part in Envirothon 2023 training at Toronto’s York University on April 19.
Focused on environmental science activities and workshops, SDSS students learned how to monitor soil and water quality and identify plant and bird species found here in Stouffville.
The students were “completely immersed” in hands-on learning experiences, Neill told Bullet Point News.
They were also able to meet with environmental scientists who helped them see what it was like to be a scientist for the day.
According to Neill, the students found the day of training interesting, inspiring, and well worth attending.
