Envirothon
by Pat Burns

Recently six Mount Mercy Academy students attended a workshop to learn more about several key environmental issues that affect our community. Topics discussed included forestry, aquatics, soil, waste management and wildlife.
Seniors Aubrey Monaco (Buffalo), Sydney Ardanuy (Buffalo), Annie Bernard (Orchard Park), Melina Courtney (Elma) and Natalie Radwan (West Seneca), along with junior Bridget Dougherty (Buffalo) also had to create a presentation about landfill and hazardous waste, waste management, composting, and food waste. The presentation, which is yet to be judged, is part of a state-wide competition. In addition, the students will be attending another meeting for the written test portion of the competition. The group is advised by Mr. Bayley Zubler.
