The WELL Project was established in 1998 through a grant from the Springfield Utility Board.  The program supports students and teachers throughout the Springfield School District with an emphasis on water and energy science and the community.  Support comes in the form of teacher training workshops, development and implementation of new curriculum materials, assisting with classroom instruction, organizing and providing instructional support for fieldtrips, funding for materials and equipment for science projects and training and assistance for the high school advanced water teams.  The program has been successful in improving the delivery of science education in our district and has been recognized with state and national awards.
