Environmental Club Brings Rain Garden to PGHS
This bio-retention area will act as a temporary storage area for rain water runoff. The plants in this area will slow down and filter this water instead of sending the polluted water directly into area streams. A big shout out to Mr. Glenn Adams (Environmental Science Teacher and Club Advisor), our students from the Environmental Club, and the Building and Grounds team under the leadership of Mr. Cardwell for all of their great work.
"Being a part of the creation of the rain garden was a great experience participating in and seeing so many students willing to put the effort into such a beneficial Pottsgrove environmental project". -Karleigh Cimorelli (12)
'I’m glad to have participated in implementing the rain garden at Pottsgrove and I am excited to involve our school more and more with the environment!" -Alyssa Noelle Geniza (12)
"Working to build the rain garden was an amazing opportunity where I learned about the impact of water drainage and how it can affect the function of local ecosystems." - Michael Lance (10)
