WHS Students to Visit Costa Rica for Environmental Summit
Meetings planned at WHS for later this month.

students can visit the Tortuguero and Arenal Region of Costa Rica from April 14 to April 22 (vacation week) to attend a Global Student Leader Summit, where they will explore Costa Rica’s diverse ecosystems while observing environmental sustainability initiatives.
They will view animals in their natural habitats and learn about sea turtle conservation. Students will also learn about food growing practices at a banana plantation and see biodiversity while whitewater rafting.
At the end of the tour, students will gather together with other high school students from North America at a two-day Environmental Sustainability Leadership conference featuring speaker Al Gore and other world environmental leaders, presenting the most pressing global environmental issues. Students will also participate in workshops that explore concepts of renewable energy, biodiversity, community leadership and sustainable economic development.
There will be a meeting for all interested students on Wednesday, Sept. 19 in the WHS library, and a parent session on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the WHS library. For more information, contact high school business teacher Darrell Potosnak at potosnad@westborough.k12.ma.us.
