 Water 4 Otter Assembly Recap

 

The North Texas Municipal Water District brought a fun way to share with students the importance of water conservation. Performed by Reba and Kayla, the students learned about where water comes from, what a watershed is, how we can all save water, and how they can become water conservation champions! Please enjoy a little view into what our Gators got to learn!
