Power of Place

by Tyshara Owen and Justin Parish, SMS '97

During the school year "The University of Penn" and "Mayer Sulzberger Middle School" have been working together on a very important project. This project is about the revealing and restoring of urban waters(Mill Creek) in the west Philadelphia region. During the summer this program continued with the help of Professor Anne Spirn, Sam Spirn, Martin Knox, Liz McPherson, Charlie Neer, Cindy Ott, Glenn Campbell, Larry Jones, Donald Armstead, Barbara Wells, YuTing Lee, Tyshara Owen, Samuel, Latisha, Keith, Latasha, Mykeesha, Wydel, Selicia, Anita, Terrence, Carmanic, Crystal, Oneil, Jon, Abdul, and myself, Justin Parish "Buck". The students this summer were responsible for putting Mr. Campbell's 8th grade class' "Power of Place" booklet online.


What I hope you are about to see and read is what some of the students learned and what they would like to see in the future.
