Kettle Creek Crusaders at Lake Riviera Middle School

The player will show in this paragraph

The Kettle Creek Crusaders, a group of students at Lake Riviera Middle School in Brick, N.J., want to expand the environmental studies at their school. The group recently engaged in a unique service-learning opportunity where they worked with local professionals and staff to take inventory of vegetation and wildlife at Kettle Creek, which has a tributary near Lake Riviera Middle School. Students tested the water quality at various locations along the creek and created a presentation for their fellow students based on their findings.

Teacher Gary Paxton said: "This project will help students learn the value of community involvement and environmental awareness, while educating the young people of the community to be more environmentally conscious."
