Hey Everybody! Looking for some extra credit and an opportunity to help the environment in Glenview??? Check out these volunteer opportunities in Glenview. To get extra credit, you must do the following:
1. Attend a Restoration Work Day
2. Take pictures at the site.
3. Write a summary of what you did and your reflections on doing it. Post this along with a photo or two (do not include your face) to the blog.
