Last week Mr Senti's AP Environmental Science class got a tour of Roberts Wastewater Treatment by plant manager John Bond. A portion of their treatment system is cutting edge biotechnology that uses algae to remove phosphorus from the wastewater. As extra algae is produced and removed, it can be dried and sold to companies to make bio-plastics. The green tubes you see are made of glass and is where the algae and water flow. There are over 7 miles of tubing running in their system.

Keep them home when they show any of these symptoms: -fever of 100 degrees F or higher -nausea or vomiting -severe headache -diarrhea -red, watery eyes with yellow or green drainage -undiagnosed rash Children should stay home until they have been naturally without fever for at least 24 hours. Please do not give children fever-reducing medication and then send them to school. Any questions please reach out to our school nurse Bridget Nelson at nelsonbri@ellsworth.k12.wi.us or 715-273-3912
