CR netWORK is proud to partner with Qwest Telecom Pioneers led by Ina Mae Wienola, and the Jefferson High School National Honor Society on our Map Projects. This ongoing effort to paint a colorful map of the United States on Westside elementary school playgrounds is collaboration at its best.

The map is a powerful geography learning tool for students and teachers at Harrison, in addition to being a fun place to play games during recess. Students can take trips from Vermont to California in just a few seconds! A document full of potential educational activities is also supplied to the school.

The Jefferson High School National Honor Society made this project a work of art! The first day of the project five kids showed up to help, the second day 13. When they finished three hours ahead of schedule our project leads wondered how they were going to contact the rest of the kids to tell them not to come. The kids came to the rescue again with their fast fingers and texted all other volunteers. Now that‟s team work. On the last day three more kids came to touch up the map and call it COMPLETE!
