Turn Trash Into Treasure

Recently, families at WISH Charter Elementary in Los Angeles took up trash and took in cash. Parent leaders partnered with Heal the Bay, a nonprofit that works to help clean Southern California’s beaches and watersheds, and conducted a cleanup fundraiser at a local beach. Families collected pledges, then trash; the event raised thousands of dollars for the school, and a donation was made to Heal the Bay. Volunteers recycled what items they could, and some of the trash was used in a schoolwide art project.
