Zebra Mussels (Learn and Serve America Grantee)

Maryvill Middle School studentsWhen the 7th graders at Maryville Middle School were asked to start a project that would benefit their community, they not only did this but also incorporated conservation efforts into their project. Mozingo Lake, located in Maryville, Missouri plays a large role in the Northwest Missouri community, offering a place for community members to boat, fish, camp, and golf.

The goal of the project was to inform boaters in Northwest Missouri about the dangers of zebra mussels and the proper ways to clean their aquatic equipment. The information that the 7th graders wanted to present to the community included the basic information about zebra mussels.
