Year 9 students clean up Kawakawa
On the 8th of September (Monday) was the beginning of “Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week”. My teacher figured, “Why don't we go pick up rubbish”. My class didn't mind because we are helping the community. My teacher then organised a day to go and pick up rubbish.
We had a designated area to search for rubbish. That was three streets in Kawakawa. Commercial, Church, and Albert street. Every student in 9R (class) walked along all three streets in search for trash. I ended up finding three bags of rubbish and that was just me. Imagine having 20 students picking up rubbish.
It wasn't just my class that went to go pick up rubbish but there were also others. To be honest, it feels really good to be helping the community, even if it's just putting a piece of plastic in the bin. #save the turtles.
