Congratulations to Sara Jones and Zachary Castetter.  Sara Jones from Tri-West High School won the Hendricks County Partnership for Water Quality Mascot Contest by drawing the winning picture for our mascot. What a fantastic idea to have a tree frog embracing a rain drop!  Congratulations also to Zachary Castetter from Central Elementary in Plainfield for naming our mascot, Kipper.  Kipper stands for "Keep It Pure Please Environment Rocks!"  Thank you for giving us our mascot and giving our mascot a name!

Do you need volunteer hours for graduation?  This is a perfect, fun event for you and your friends. It also looks great on your college application. Email us and we will get you all of the information.
