Croke Reservoir Partnership


Westview students have been working on a partnership with the city of Northglenn on the newly reopened Croke Reservoir Nature Area (on Huron Street north of Naiad Dr.).  Westview was pleased to receive a Community Block Grant which enabled us to purchase wildlife and nature books for our library, and to produce informational signs and handouts for Croke Reservoir.
