Teijo School and Nature School received water backpacks as a donation

The Baltic Sea Day celebrated at the end of August took on a valuable additional meaning at Teijo School when representatives of the Salona Rotary Club came to hand over two water backpacks to the school. The water backpack contains tools and instructions that make exploring the local water system easy and fun. It can be used to study, for example, temperature, blue-green algae and oxygen levels.

In his handover speech, Jari Seikkula, president of the Salona Rotary Club, stated, among other things:

“Rotary is a service for influencers that brings together like-minded people to do good in their own neighborhood and around the world. The foundation of its operations is local Rotary clubs. Rotary works determinedly to make the world a better place to live. A better world could start with a clean Baltic Sea! The Salon Rotary Club is donating two water backpacks for the use of Teijo School and Teijo Nature School. They will allow children to measure and monitor the state of the Baltic Sea and influence its cleanliness.”

Teijo School and Teijo Nature School thank the Rotary Club of Salo for the donation. The research kits will be available to both students from Teijo School and students from other schools in Salo who visit Teijo Nature School.
