Eco-Challenge Brings the Big Bucks By the “River Runners”

A big vision and lots of hard work are beginning to pay off big for a group of students at Holy Spirit middle school in Great Falls. A team of five 7th-graders created an award-winning wetlands project that has earned them both respect and cash. It started over lunch, when the friends volunteered to meet almost everyday to create a plan to repair wetlands in Montana. And now their efforts have yielded results: in January, the team won $10,000 for their plan to sustain healthy habitats for Montana plants and wildlife. And just this month, they went on to win $30,000 as a First Place Finisher in the Final Challenge.
