On a neighborhood ride recently, students from Greencorps needed to use a newly learned skill--fixing a flat! In addition to learning to build and properly ride, they are learning bicycle safety and repair. Look for the blue shirts and green bikes riding around your neighborhood.

Students are also finalizing plans for the garden at Team Englewood H.S. Vegetable and herbs will be planted and maintained by Greencorps students from the school. Look for the raised bed garden with the colorful plant markers within the next two weeks.

Students are learning while earning this summer. A component of the summer curriculum is the financial literacy computer program, EverFi. Throughout the summer, students work on a variety of lessons which will increase their ability to oversee their own finances and to make good decisions with the money that they earn.

The Greencorps program runs through August 8.
