The 7th grade went to the Illinois River on Friday for their service field trip. They cleaned up trash along the river, which included anything from plastic bottles and Styrofoam containers to tires and a car bumper. All of the trash was counted and recorded by different types and the data was sent to National Geographic as part of a debris study for the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. There was an extra bonus as the students got to witness one of the demolition explosions for the old McCluggage Bridge.
On Friday, Mrs. Rolfs came to speak to all fifth graders about her visit to the Nazi concentration camps in Germany. The students read Number the Stars in class, so this was an important presentation to wrap up their ELA unit.
