💧🔬 AP Environmental Science in Action! 🔬💧
Our students spent the day at the Harrisburg Reclamation Center, learning how the water we use every day is treated and returned safely to nature.
In just 5 days, the water you flush is cleaned and released back into the Big Sioux River—safe for both people and wildlife! 🌎✨
Hands-on learning like this helps our Riders see the real impact of environmental science in our community!
