Student Council Keeps Our Streets Clean!

“Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere” was the theme song as Lower School Student Council embarked on a community service project on Saturday, April 23. The group partnered with Charleston Surfrider to clean the main and side streets on Sullivan’s Island. Marlow, our clean up guide, discussed the importance of picking up trash not only on the beach, but also the streets near the beach as it would quickly reach the water. With bags, gloves, and vests, the lower school student council members and families went to work!

The most common item collected was cigarette butts, but the group also found many plastic cups, aluminum cans, metal car parts, pool noodles, and even Christmas lights! One student found a smart watch near the local elementary school, and they were able to return it back to the child that lost it! The project was a wonderful success. Many thanks to Ms. Hanzsche for her hard working organizing this event!
