PFAS Contamination on the West Plains: Can Spokane County Build a Bridge Over These Troubled Waters?
Reardan High School Juniors:
Kashley Brown, Paige Cushman, Myleigh Benham
Rick Perleberg – Reardan FFA Advisor
The presentation is, essentially, a mock debate that addresses the Pro’s and Con’s of this regionally significant issue. Each presentation lasts about 15 minutes and the audience is encouraged to ask questions to the students at their conclusions. This is part of the development of a series of public presentations for a portfolio students must build for submission to the state FFA Contest in May. The Reardan High School program is widely regarded in the State as they address local, regional, State, and national issues ranging from Grey wolf recovery to Washington legislated mandates, to salmon recovery, and environmental issues like PFAS contamination.
Location: Jack and Dan’s,1226 N Hamilton St, Spokane, WA (in the back room)
Social hour from 6 – 7pm; Presentation from 7 – 8pm
