March Blog

March was full of activities, both educational and fun. On the tenth Rebecca, Julia and I went to Fulton to help a class of eighth graders do some water quality monitoring on a creek that flows through Fulton. The kids had a lot of fun and we did as well. The kids were divided into small groups and I helped to explain water ph and the use of the turbidity tube. I think we imparted some valuable information and made sure the students didn't fall into the creek. On the 26th we went to Hickman High School in Columbia for their Health Fair. We talked to students about storm water issues and AmeriCorps. Oh, yeah, and on the 16th I was interviewed by Paul Pepper for his show, Radio Friends With Paul Pepper. Mr. Pepper is a long time Columbia media personality whose focus is on the local stories and issues. We are hustling to organize the Canoe For Clean Water Race, Float and Festival taking place on June 19 at Katfish Katy's. Happy spring everyone.
