Students Take Part in Environmental Stewardship Conference

On April 14, Mrs. Carroll and Zach Heaton (I), Ameer Hasan (III), Aspen Johnson (II), and Eliot Park (I) attended the James Tufts Pener Conference at Thayer Academy. The boys who attended are all members of RL’s Environmentally Concerned Organization of Students (ECOS) Club, with Zach serving as president and Eliot as vice president. The conference brings together students from public and independent schools who are interested in environmental issues for a full day of workshops and presentations. Participating schools this year included Roxbury Latin, Belmont Hill, Brooks School, Chatham Harvesters, Cohasset Center for Student Coastal Research, Dana Hall, Mass Oyster Project, Milton, St. Mark’s, St. George’s, and Thayer.

Eliot was one of the student presenters this year. His talk, “Tackling Recycling with AI,” focused on his work in utilizing AI to support recycling efforts.
