Students learn lessons while cleaning up park

Environmental safety. What does it mean? The environment is very important. As students and citizens of Guilford County, we are concerned about what is going on in our environment. Our group went to Bur-Mil Park and picked up trash.

This was a project that all students on the Murphy/Craven team at Kernodle Middle School did. We were sent into groups and had to choose something that had an effect on the environment. We found that we mostly picked up trash that was soda cans and plastic bottles. Altogether, we picked up 85 items.

While we were at Bur-Mil Park, we went on Big Loop Trail (which was near the pool entrance). Overall, we had a pretty good time helping our environment.

85 items?

A team of students?

I think what you did was cool but I could pick up 85 items by myself in about 3 minutes just on the side of the road near my house.

Way to go! I encourage you to work a little harder and write back about the difference you've made.

Great start, though.
