The fourth graders of Center Grows are planning to adopt a sea turtle and donate to Oceana.org by selling stainless steel water bottles featuring earth-friendly designs. They hope their bottles will help eliminate the need for plastic! #EdCorps #EarthDay @JRPilyih

To celebrate #EarthDay2019 we are selling our 1st product! Our stainless steel water bottles will not only eliminate plastic waste, but part of the proceeds will help us adopt a sea tutle from oceana.org. Visit us at centergrows.com for more info!

We are loving our water bottle business! We sold over 20 bottles in 2 days which includes 5 online & our 1st shipped bottle! 𝕁.ℝ. ℙ𝕚𝕝𝕪𝕚𝕙 EdCorps @JKPlum1 Real World Scholars JOTO™ Imaging Supplies #EarthDay Christen M Dunn centergrows.com DonorsChoose
