Last week, our Second Shift Academy for middle and high school educators collaborated with Friends of the St. Clair River. Second Shift gives educators the opportunity to learn from the perspective of students and apply that knowledge to their classrooms. They began by collecting water samples at Lighthouse Beach and testing the samples for microplastics, both visible and invisible to the naked eye. Using this as an entry point to thinking about garbage as more than just litter, they were able to consider how they can use hands-on learning to encourage students to question the world around them and get them to seek knowledge based on first-hand experience. #WeAreSCCRESA #ProjectBasedLearning

As part of Michigan's new Filter First law, St. Clair County RESA has installed lead-reducing water filters and posted clear signage throughout our buildings. You'll now see signs near faucets and water-fillers indicating:
💧 Filtered Water/For Drinking: safe for drinking, food prep, and brushing teeth
🚰 Not for Drinking/Handwashing Only: safe for washing hands and dishes, but not for drinking
Even in newer buildings, lead can sometimes enter water through pipes and fixtures. These new filters add a protective layer—not because anything is wrong, but to keep everyone safer. #WeAreSCCRESA
