This week I interview the President & Vice-President of the Nature & Conservation Club at Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy and Sharyland High School.  Michele Pompellio and Daphne Rodriguez-Fresno tell me about why they founded the club, and what they hope founding a club like this means for the communities of both high schools, as well as the community of the Rio Grande Valley.
