New Fountains at CL Central, CL South, Cary-Grove Reduce Waste

New water bottle dispensers were installed at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.

Today is Earth Day, but students in Community High School District 155 have been acting "eco-friendly" all year. Last fall, new water fountains were installed at Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Cary Grove high schools right next to the standard drinking fountains. The new fountains are similar to water dispensers featured on modern refrigerator doors. The "water bottle filler fountains" were designed so users can refill and reuse plastic water bottles or sports bottles, thereby eliminating refuse.

I agree this camera was pointed at the shower room entrance. This guy should be treated as a pedifile. I am sure a money trace will show he was being paid for the pictures or video's and the parents of whoever was in the pictures should be notified. Picture   more ›
