LA River Clean Up

On Friday, April 30, 2010 our class went to the LA River and helped clean it up! We went with Mr. Egeler and his students and filled two school buses. The drive was not very far, we ended up in Atwater Village under the bridge on Fletcher Drive. We went right down into the river and started cleaning up. We were given trash bags to fill and we filled plenty! Mostly what was down there were plastic bags from Ralph's and places like that. They were in lots of palm trees! There was even the whole body of a car down there, and a few mattresses. It was very hot, but we had fun, and we felt good helping clean up the environment. When we left it was a lot cleaner!
