We are excited to announce a Student Reading and Art show hosted at Pringle Creek Community's Painter's Hall was a huge success!  Artwork from the 2011 edition of Honoring Our Rivers was displayed and selected literary works were read by student authors.  All were invited to attend.  A cookie reception followed the student reading.

Due to unforseen events, the artwork "Columbia River" from student Stephen Russell was not on display.  Our apologies to Stephen and his family.

SOLV Stream Restoration / Invasive Species Removal @ Pringle Creek

SOLV & Honoring Our Rivers are offering a morning stream restoration demonstration / project for volunteers & educators to help develop environmental literacy.  Participants will engage in a weed-pull at Pringle Creek alongside peer educators, community volunteers and students, while developing skills to engage future stewards and integrate place-based learning in the classroom or in the community. Following the restoration activity, participants will learn how to craft writing prompts to aid students in learning vital language skills and connecting sensory experience to personal reflection.  Participants are encouraged to pack a brown bag lunch and stay for the Student Reading and Art Display in Painter's Hall at Pringle Creek Community beginning at 1:30pm.
