New Jersey Community Water Watch’s (NJCWW) third annual Education Week was an enormous success. Thanks to the cooperation of student volunteers, community members, schools, and businesses across the state, NJCWW AmeriCorps members were able to educate nearly 3,300 students, grades pre-K through 8.
Starting in Camden on Monday and finishing the week in Newark on Friday, NJCWW educated students on the importance of protecting and preserving the water in a community’s watershed. Volunteers received warm welcomes from teachers and students at each school, and plans are in the works to continue statewide environmental education throughout the spring.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the week’s events — it was truly a memorable experience.
