January+Service+Day-Duncan+Sean+Matthew

January Service Day Summary and Photos/ Sean, Duncan I., and Matt.
The first thing we did on our service day was have lunch at John Hawk's Pub. After the meal we headed over to Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful which was a small building where we had speaker who talked to us about the 3 Rs. Then we headed over right next door over to the MRF,the materials recycling facility. In there we went to a small room where we had a speaker who told us about all of the machines and we took a little quiz where we could win stuff. After the MRF we went to a curve in the Milwaukee river where tons of junk had sit there and stayed. We observed it and learned how it got there. Our guide told us that it had floated up river and stayed or the junk from the MRF got out and went in. Next we went to where the Milwaukee River empties out into Lake Michigan. There we saw a lighthouse. Then we went back to school and went home.
