A big thank you goes out to our Vaughan River Kids and all the parent chaperones who participated in the Rivers Alive event this past Friday, September 23rd. Rivers Alive is Georgia's annual volunteer waterway cleanup event that targets all waterways in the state including streams, rivers, lakes, beaches, and wetlands. The mission of Rivers Alive is to create awareness of and involvement in the preservation of Georgia's water resources.
Vaughan’s third grade Target students (River Kids) collected 17 bags of trash (about 150 pounds) as they cleaned Noses Creek, which is part of the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. They found a basketball, paint cans, a shovel, glass, and all types of plastic and metal debris as they combed the banks looking for trash. It was a great day of fun, learning, protecting a precious resource, and helping our community. So thanks River Kids for being such good stewards of our natural resources!
I have posted a few pictures and a couple of video clips from our Rivers Alive cleanup event.
