Field Trip

At my school, we go on a field trip to the beach at the beginning of every year.  It is a way for us to really get to know the new students, as well as to bring the school community closer together.  We do activities like sand castle building, tug-of-war, and scavenger hunts.  We always end with a clean-up of the beach.  We all line up at one end of the beach, and we walk slowly in a straight line picking up trash along the way.  We found things ranging from broken buckets to beer cans.  It was disappointing to see all the trash, but it was great that we were able to get about 200 people together to help make the environment a better place.
