• Star Power: The River Farm Park Kids (timeforkids.com) — A group of Hanaford Elementary students in East Greenwich banded together to restore River Farm Park, turning a little-used green space in their neighborhood into a brighter gathering spot with a new Little Free Library. They worked with the town, raised their own funds after a grant fell through, and hope their project inspires other East Greenwich kids to tackle community improvements.
