OVERVIEW

Are you interested in helping to improve our environment towards cleaner air, water, and land? Club Environmental Rescue ( E.R.) does just that! Club E.R. helps to preserve the Earth one meeting at a time. Where else can you spend your time saving the world?!? Students recycle, plant new trees and plants, do environmental clean-ups, take fun fields trips, promote environmental issues to others, and do fund raisers to support the environment. If you want to have fun and feel good about improving the environment for Mother Earth, people, and animals, Club E.R. is for you! Students can contact Ms. Gathman at Lgathman@cusd200.org or Mrs. Paulsen at Cpaulsen@cusd200.org or visit our website at www.wnhs.org. There is no activity fee and this is a great club to meet new friends who also care to preserve our planet!
