The 7th grade students at Christa McAuliffe School, PS #28, in Jersey City are participating in Project Reservoir, a program that partners them with the Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance to help revitalize, redesign, and transform a defunct and semi-abandoned reservoir. Nature has slowly reclaimed the area and it is now an area teeming with fish, wildlife, and plants. The school has joined forces with the Alliance to help transform it into a recreational and educational nature preserve and to promote awareness of it to the community. The project recently won the Lexus Eco Challenge.
