For the past four years, GWCS science teacher, Ms. Julia Kohler, has organized so many Stream Cleanup community service events where students not only find themselves immersed in do-gooder feelings but they actually make an immediate and long-term impact on our local waterways. Through community service events like this, GWCS students learn that they can make a difference! In addition to the obvious need to get pollutants out of our water, it has been proven that the more we clean up the less likely people are to litter! On Monday, February 28, 2022 a group of GWCS Coyotes scoured the Long Branch Stream Valley Trail, scooped up bottles, plastic bags, newspapers, a For Sale sign, and lots of other trash, and — once again — they made a difference. For their time and efforts, the students not only got to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors but also received an hour of Community Service towards the 30 that GWCS requires per year.
Keep an eye on the WYNK Newsletter and the GWCS Online Calendar to see when and where you can get involved next! Stream Cleanups are just one type of community service event offered at GWCS.
