A fun run at Founders Park, nearshore cleanups and a classroom dedication honored the life of Pascal Weisberger on Feb. 2. Some 500 pounds of debris were removed from the shoreline at Harry Harris Park during a community cleanup as part of the third Pascal’s Day of Service. During the morning, Treasure Village Montessori students participated in a fun run. Some students also took time to clean the park’s beach. At Ocean Studies, a marine discovery lab was named in Pascal’s honor. “Both TVM and Ocean Studies did many service projects around the Upper Keys,” said Ariel Poholek, Pascal’s dad.
