I have put off blogging about my daughter's field trip because I can't remember for the life of me what park we visited. I know- crazy. But I can't wait any longer to post these links because I think that they are very important if you live in Central Virginia.
The first link is http://www.ccs.k12.va.us/programs/give.html- Teens GIVE Program. This group teaches the value of volunteer work to Charlottesville students and matches the kids to volunteer-based groups. Very cool.
The second one is http://www.rivannariver.org/home.html- Rivanna Conservation Society. This is a very dedicated group of volunteers working to safeguard the Rivanna River which is a watershed eventually contributing to the Chesapeake Bay. I learned so much in just 45 minutes. And we actually accomplished a few things too. Some kids learned to test the water's ph levels, some cleaned trails, while others cleaned and restocked the information kiosk.
