The last, but certainly not least, group from Stone Elementary went out to Deer Island on 10/12/2011 and collected from site #1 on the North side. Not only was the sun not out that morning, but there was a huge dredging pipe running through the middle of our clean up site! Due to this obstacle, we decided to clean up the 1/4 mile that was available and not cross the pipe to get to the rest of the site. Even though we were not able to clean up the entire 1/2 mile segment, we had found quite the array of strange debris.
This group of kids were really great, they were working in teams and were set on beating the other classes poundage of debris collected. We found some interesting things that day, like buried ropes, a fiberglass car part, fired pottery pieces, a large dip net and the top half of a plastic 55 gallon drum!
We collected a total of 116.84 lbs! Great job guys!
I am happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mrs. Rose and her 5th grade students. Thank you all so very much for participating in this program and to prove that being responsible about trash is not only cool, but fun as well!
Keep it up guys and gals, I am very pleased that you are turning your generation into the greenest generation yet!
