Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa sixth graders participated in the annual Pope-Stevens counties Water Fest last Friday, September 24 at the Pope County Fairgrounds in Glenwood. It was one example of many educational field trips being taken by B-B-E elementary classes after most field trip activity was canceled in the 2020-2021 school year.

Water Day provides multiple learning sessions over the morning and early afternoon.

Session topics and session titles included: Exploring Underwater, Stormwater-Flood Plains-Land Use, Bubbleology, Water Beneath Your Feet, What Floats Your Boat, Fish Journey, What Water Would You Drink, Edible Infiltration, Water Treatment Plant and Incredible Journey No. 1 and No. 2-Water Quality.
