The Waterbury Public Schools District is one of the lowest performing districts in Connecticut, and 72.5% of their students qualify for the free or reduced price lunch program. This summer, 75 Waterbury students from grades three to five and their teachers discovered watershed science and explored nearby Long Island Sound and Candlewood Lake with EdAdvance, an education provider that worked with the schools to present “WoW! The Wonders of Watersheds.” Academic enrichment activities like WOW that complement regular academic programs are a great asset for students in underserved schools.
