River Schools Network Through the CRSN, Friends of the Chicago River helps teachers use the Chicago River as a context for learning and a setting for service. By

connecting the curriculum and students to a naturalc resource rightr in theirs backyard, nlearning takes on

new relevance and students discover that their actions can make a difference. We support teachers by

offering teacher workshops, one-on-one consultations, and equipment for loan, lessons and assistance

on field trips. Through our Adopt A River School program, schools can choose to adopt a site along

the Chicago River. They become part of a network of schools working together to monitor and

Makingimprove Connections the river.
