Isn't this a beautiful site. Well, guess what! It's our very
own creek. Unfortunately, it needs some help.
Fortunately, there is help on the way!
Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Quest 2
students are participating in River Kids, as well as WATERS (Water
Awareness Team Encouraging Resourceful Solutions). Students will
participate in various activities involving water testing and problem
solving. Below are pictures of students observing the creek area
(Holland Creek) behind the school (PCIS), as well as testing and documenting
their findings. Results will be submitted to "River Kids"
and Alabama Water Watch.
