It`s Earth Day! River, a passionate 2nd grader from Westdale Heights Academic Magnet, was recently awarded a $1,000 grant to help fund his idea to visit schools to teach other children about litter. Now, he`s on a mission to get even more young people involved—partnering with schools, raising awareness, and reading to kids about how littering harms our planet.
