Here's a selection of feedback comments that we've received about RiverWatch from students, parents and teachers. We hope that you find them as inspirational as we do!

• The River Watch Trip was a great idea and I'd love to do it again. Other students from other schools should go on this trip. It was awesome and extremely fun as well as very educational!



• My son went on the river Watch trip last year and my daughter is looking forward to going this year. This is one of those trips where kids actually come back and have learned something as opposed to just being a day out of school.



• Great program. Glad to hear that you're in business for yet another year! My students will talk forever about this trip. I couldn't do this in a classroom.



• My students loved the River Watch Field Trip - we learned so much. This was probably the best experience I've ever had with students! Everything we learned was relevant.



• It was good to be on the river instead of just talking about it. A great experience!



• Every teacher and supervisor that has gone on the trip has only positive comments. Thanks a lot!



• A truly terrific trip. What a lot of work you folks do to get this program organized. Great results. Thanks.



• It was an incredible field trip. Everyone loved it. The students learned tons from it - it was really informative.



• We're very pleased with the program. It's an excellent extension of the science curriculum and fulfills the academic requirements.



• Without exception, students found this to be one of the best experiences they have had in science. The practical application of the curriculum was apparent to all.



• It was a great day, very educational and interesting, and with such great feedback, we can't afford not to do it again.

RiverWatch takes students into their own communities in a manner that is engaging and revealing




• This trip was so exciting for students - most haven't done anything even close to this type of adventure. They get right into it with their testing and the tour of the sewage treatment plant was great.



• I'd like to let you know that the trip was awesome. It is definitely a project that should be continued on. I know our school will participate again. Thanks again for offering a terrific program for our students.



• I have done this field trip three times now and each time it has been excellent for teachers and students. It is well organized and the guides are well informed, share great science information and are very enthusiastic.



• Thank you for creating a fabulous field trip for my students. The curriculum fit was excellent, kids loved it and the guides were terrific educators. It was the highlight of the semester. We'll look forward to future trips on the river.



• We loved the River Watch Trip and I speak for students and volunteers as well as myself as the teacher. Pre and post surveys revealed a major shift in attitude and understanding. This is the type of active learning that makes the most difference. Huge thanks!
