Approximately 80 students, parents and teachers joined together after school on Thursday, April 21st to clean the beach in front of the school in celebration of Earth Day. Thank you to all of you who helped to collect the tons of plastics and other trash that is harmful to wildlife and makes our beaches dirty and unattractive.
Obviously one afternoon of cleaning the beach isn't enough. We as a community should be making an effort to make every day Earth Day by recycling, properly disposing of trash, using reusable water bottles and lunch containers every single day. The goal of the beach clean-up was to instill this idea in people and show them how easy it is to care for the environment. This lesson is especially important for the young people to learn as they will be the leaders of the future.
All-in-all, the beach clean-up was a huge success, and as the event drew to a close one first grader was heard saying to another, "That was fun, wasn't it?"
