"Recycled" Chair Installed in Memory of Student

 

PHOENIX - A year after their classmate's death, students at Madison Heights school will install a chair in his memory.

 

Eight-year-old Jacob Crespo, known for his work for charitable causes passed away last year. He was an environmental champion who was very involved in the non-profit organization Children for a Safe Environment founded by his mother.

 

The chair made completely of recycled materials and the things Jacob loved will be a permanent celebration of the young man and a reminder to other students of the power of the choices they make to impact the environment every day.


The chair will be installed in the school's courtyard on Tuesday, May 19 at noon.

 

Madison Heights is located at 7150 N. 22nd Street in Phoenix.
