Environmental Program News for This Week
The 6th grade Environmental Program students will have a busy week. First of all, they are working hard on their environmental action project (EAP) which will be due next week Friday. Second, the students will be picking up along Belding Road on Wednesday as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program. The students do this twice a year; fall and spring. Finally, on Friday they will be taking their second BLT (Big Long Trip) of the year when they will either be going to Spring Lake or Muskegon Lake on the GVSU water research vessels. They will be collecting water/bottom samples to analyze and collect date. Please pray for them this week through all these activities.
Wednesday is the last day of student teaching for Miss Barrett’s student teacher, Mary Canfield. We would like to thank her for everything that she has done for us since January when she arrived. May the Lord bless you, Miss Canfield!!
