Rotary Club of Canton toured the new aquaponics lab at Canton Elementary School STEM Academy during the last school year. The club funded and helped build the lab with a $5,000 grant. The lab, called the AGUA (Aquaponics Generates Understanding and Achievement) Lab includes a fish hatchery and hydroponics tables where vegetables and herbs are grown using nutrients created by the fish and other aquatic creatures. Agua is also the Spanish word for water. Students learned about the symbiotic nature of the relationship between fish and plants. STEM teachers David Cornn and Dr. Judy Wright planned the lab, which benefits students in all grade levels at Canton ES STEM Academy. Superintendent Dr. Frank R. Petruzielo and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Brian Hightower joined the Rotary Club of Canton during the tour, which included a ceremonial ribbon cutting. Principal Beth Long was very excited about the learning opportunities the new lab presents for all of Cantons students.
