The NEWEA Public Education Committee hosted a Teacher Training Workshop on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at MWRA’s Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. About 40 elementary and high school teachers participated in the event which included a tour of Deer Island, a presentation on the NEWEA school program with watershed and floodplain model demonstrations, a workshop on the hands-on World Water Monitoring Challenge, and a behind-the-scenes lab tour.

Thank you to the NEWEA Public Education Committee members who made this happen: Lenny Young, Meg Tabacsko, Danielle DiRuzza, Elena Proakis Ellis, Deb Mahoney, Tracy Chouinard, Janine Burke-Wells, Danielle Gallant, David Moering, & Adriana Cillo.
