Students from Western Wayne High School recently stepped outside the classroom to take part in a hands-on environmental learning experience focused on one of our most important natural resources—water.
As part of the Community Connections to Our Watershed program, students joined peers from several regional schools for a field trip to learn how drinking water is supplied to homes and how wastewater is treated before returning to the environment.
Participating schools included Carbondale Area, Lakeland, Mountain View, Old Forge, and Western Wayne.
The theme of the day, “Out of the Faucet and Down the Drain,” focused on helping students understand where water comes from and what happens after it leaves our homes and schools.
The day began with students meeting at the Lake Scranton Water Treatment Plant. There, students toured the facility and participated in a water filtration challenge that helped them better understand how drinking water is cleaned and prepared for public use.
Following lunch, students traveled to a wastewater treatment plant where they learned how used water is treated before being safely released back into the environment. The tour provided an inside look at the systems that protect rivers and streams while maintaining public health.
Throughout the day, students worked with presenters from Pennsylvania State Parks and Pennsylvania American Water, who explained the science and technology involved in providing safe drinking water and managing wastewater systems.
The experience allowed students to connect classroom science with real-world applications. By seeing these systems firsthand, students gained a deeper appreciation for the infrastructure that delivers clean water to their homes and protects local waterways.
Western Wayne students had an excellent time on the trip and greatly enjoyed the opportunity to learn outside the classroom while exploring real-world solutions to environmental challenges.
The watershed program will continue throughout the year as students work on environmental action projects and collaborate with other schools to better understand and protect local water resources.

Twenty-two Western Wayne High School students recently had the opportunity to explore languages and cultures from around the world at the 3rd Annual World Languages Day hosted by The University of Scranton on Thursday, March 5. The event brought together students from ten area school districts across the region for a day of cultural exploration and language learning.
The program’s theme encouraged students to “MAKE YOURSELF MORE (interesting than AI).” The theme challenged participants to develop the real-world communication skills, cultural understanding, and curiosity that make human connections meaningful.
Throughout the day, students participated in lightning-round beginner lessons in several languages, visited interactive exhibits, and enjoyed refreshments while meeting instructors and cultural representatives from around the world. Presenters shared insights about languages and cultures from Argentina, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, and even highlighted cultural connections found right in our own community.
The event gave students a unique opportunity to interact with peers from other districts while experiencing how language learning can open doors to global understanding. Sophomore Nick Patuto volunteered to showcase his listening and speaking skills in front of the crowd of more than 200 students, teachers, and university staff.
Nick shared, “The day was so fun! I met so many nice people and going up in front of everybody made me feel like Batman.” When asked to clarify, he said, “I knew our school was relying on me to perform and I did my best, even if I did say, ¡Yo soy Pennsylvania!” he added with a laugh, a nod to part of his performance.
Before the program ended, students were given a tour of The University and treated to a delicious lunch, courtesy of the Office of Admissions, which helped students see more of the campus and get to feel what it is like to be a university student! By the end of the day, students returned with new cultural perspectives, greater enthusiasm for language study, and inspiration to continue exploring the world beyond their classroom.

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention
program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize
warning signs and signals, especially within social media,
from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others
and to “say something” BEFORE it is too late.
