The LAF Climate Club is making a difference! 🌎💧

Throughout the year, this inspiring group of 3rd and 4th graders has been studying climate change with a special focus on the Passaic River. Students explored topics including flooding, water quality, and river conservation, while also taking a hands-on approach to learning by examining algae under a microscope and helping clean up litter along the river.

The club even built a connection with Danielle Delp and is already planning a fundraiser next year to support Rutgers University research. Amazing work by these young environmental leaders! 👏🌱
