The Chesapeake Bay Commission has generously pledged support for a water quality project between Susquehanna University Science in Motion (SIM) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) in the form of a $25,000 grant. The goal of this project is to engage secondary science students who reside along the branches of the Susquehanna River in real and meaningful data collection and reporting concerning water quality. State Representative Russell H. Fairchild, R-85 of Lewisburg, presented the original grant to SIM and the SRBC at Susquehanna University during the two day training workshop for area teachers participating in the project. In his presentation speech, Rep. Fairchild mentioned how teachers and students participating in the project will be a part of history in cleaning up the problem areas in the Chesapeake Bay, Susquehanna River, and its tributaries.

We extend our thanks to the Chesapeake Bay Commission for their support!
