Newburyport School Students to Honor the Earth

by Ari Herzog on March 19, 2009

If you are a Newburyport student (or know someone who is), try to stay healthy on Friday, April 17 because this is one day in the school year you do not want to be sick.

Why, you ask? Because Earth Day is coming to you!

  • Bresnahan School students will have an assembly on farming.
  • Brown School and Immaculate Conception students will have assemblies on the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling.
  • Molin School students will have field trips to the biomass furnace and new wind turbine at Mark Richey Woodworking, and to Joppa Flats.
  • Nock Middle School students will be treated to be a guest speaker talking about science.
  • and Newburyport High Schoolers will be presented a showcase on wave energy and aquaculture.

Works are also underway to hold similar events at other schools in Amesbury, Newbury, Salisbury, and West Newbury.
