Many areas of the Great Lakes have been identified by the EPA as endangered by prior pollution. Join us on a service learning, citizen service project, to clean up the waterfront, perform water quality tests, record biological data and improve beach conditions in our re¬gion. What a great learning experience for our students! Check out www.greatlakes.org to learn more about the program and to obtain an 80 page educational activity kit for grades K-8.
Community Garden to Community Meal

Join us for a morning of harvesting the Christ Church Community Garden and taking those foods back to Central’s kitchen to create and serve the Community Meal.
