Reynoldsville Envirothon

The Jefferson Conservation District holds an Envirothon at the Reynoldsville C.G. Johnson Elementary School each Spring.  This year's Envirothon was held on Wednesday, May 16, 2018.  Melissa Buck, JCCD, plans this event for the 4th & 5th grade classes each year.  This competition is similiar in format to the High School Envirothon but students compete as classrooms within their school. 

Another difference is presenters teach the students for approximately 20 minutes and then test them to see what they have learned.  This year's topics and presenters were:

Deer Ticks - Megan Whitlatch, Jefferson Conservation District

Water - Dana Grabowski, Jefferson Conservation District

Deer - Andrew Troutman, PA Game Commission 

Waste Management - Donna Cooper, Jefferson County Solid Waste Authority

Wetlands - Becky Gaston, Green Valley Environmental LLC

After all the tests were scored, an awards ceremony was held to announce the top three classrooms.
