We had the pleasure of working with Stone Elementary's 5th grade classes next, and with an ambitious, passionate teacher Mrs. Terry Rose, we collected debris from almost every site on the island. The first trip took place on September 19th, 2011, it was a cloudy day that later opened up to a bright sky! These guys were real troopers!
We cleaned up site 2, located on the North side of Deer Island. These kids (and teachers) did an amazing job! They worked through the dreary weather and ended up with a beautiful day and a real bounty of marine debris.
After it was all said and done, we had collected 182.98 lbs! We collected everything from large ropes to sandals and golf balls. These students really worked hard and did a great job cleaning up Deer Island and sorting it all out! Great job guys, just by spending a few hours cleaning up an island you have left behind the greatest gift to nature... respect. Thank you for all your hard work and I hope you keep on living green!
