Evette: The River and Me

It’s Personal

Evette goes back to the Riverfront Community Center to meet up with Maritza and Makena. They all talk about their issues with racism and family, agreeing that they should try to find a way for Evette’s grandparents to talk again.

While Evette goes to the water fountain, she sees a sign advertising help to restore the river. Evette calls the number on the sign, and a man named Kasey answers and tells her to gather her friends and family, and they’ll clean the river up!

She posts about the river cleanup on social media and makes flyers for school. Ashlyn sees the flyers and offers her, Ziggy, and Gia’s help. Evette also encourages her grandparents to come, hoping that this could be an opportunity for them to reconnect.
