WHSAD Seniors with Ms. Tom, Ms. Taylor, Mr. Powers and NCA Education and Outreach Manager Lisa Bloodgood

On Saturday, April 1, 2017, WHSAD seniors joined the Newtown Creek Alliance in their weekend street cleanup project on Apollo Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.  The students picked up and organized garbage into trash and recyclable items.  Students were eager to help improve the environmental conditions of WHSAD’s community.

The Newtown Creek Alliance is a community-based organization working to restore, reveal and revitalize Newtown Creek to its glory days as a local wildlife habitat.  WHSAD looks forward to future collaborations towards making Newtown Creek a cleaner place.  To learn more, click here.
