NWPE member and Salmon River Middle School science teacher Sarah Walters took her students to the dump and the Riggins sewage treatment facility in order to prompt their interest in science and engineering. That led to a collaborative effort and entry into the Future City Competition. Ms. Walters noted that it was a full staff effort. “I headed up the project but owe the success of the project to the whole staff at Salmon River Middle School. We decided this year to make Future City a collaborative project. The Math teacher taught about scale, the history teachers taught about the city basics and what makes a city successful, the English teachers helped write the essays, the shop teacher helped build the models, and in science, we designed our engineering plans, researched waste management methods, took field trips to study how our city's waste is managed and put together our presentation. It took not just a team of students but the staff also worked as a team.”

You love guiding, inspiring, teaching children.
You enjoy the ever-changing landscape each day brings.
