IMPACT SPring
IMPACT This USS Silversides trip is a part of a educational journey about celebrating the privilege of education and the planning for a space to celebrate those who served so young people can be educated and build a strong free society. This Impact project is partnering with Earth Force & GLSI to integrate the idea of promoting a healthy environment. We are looking to create a space where students gather, that blends the two ideas of honoring those who paved a path for the privilege of education and respectfully caring for our environment. A celebration that recognizes the value of a healthy earth and a educated community.
