McKinley Elementary School hosted an Environmental Night where students and their families learned environmental science topics such as: the macroinvertebrates and wildlife found at McKinley; tree planting & vernal pool restoration at McKinley; and ways to help the creek. Students also had the opportunity to make a button, decorate a reusable bag, help paint a rain barrel, play watershed games and create a pollinator hotel! Various community organizations helped organize the event: the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford (TTF) Watershed Partnership; the William Penn Foundation; Briar Bush Nature Center; the National Audubon Society; Primex Garden Center; and McKinley’s Roots and Shoots Club.
