Evette: The River and Me
Washington D.C. – 2021The Unity Promise
At school, Evette decides to sit with Ashlyn and her new friends. She finds that Gia and Ziggy are actually really friendly, and they bond over the grossest thing they cleaned up at the river. Ziggy wins with a dead possum!
After school, Evette and Gran E drive down to the swimming hole where she wants to show it all cleaned up to Gran E. But when they get there, they find Grandma Peeters is sitting waiting. Grandma Peeters apologies to Gran E, who admits it has been a long time to hold a grudge. They bond over picnic cakes, knitting, and a cleaner environment.
On their way back to the car, Evette finds Stan dumping old tires! Evette tries to tell Stan not to dump the tires, but he just walks away, asking Evette not to report him.
Back at home, Evette’s parents tell her she should call him and ask him to bring the tires to the Riverfront Community Center instead.
