Hello everyone,

 

As you may have heard, each grade at Hilldale picks a cause over the course of the year that it will support. As we have an ocean theme for the third grade, I have decided to support the Surfrider Foundation. The foundation works to protect oceans and beaches by doing beach cleanups, working to maintain beach access, and on larger scales they work against pollution via runoff as well as supporting reusable bottles as opposed to single use plastics. We discussed some of these problems on our field trip to Crissy Field and the class was eager to help pick up plastic "nurdles."

 

Here is a link to the San Francisco chapter, which does monthly beach cleanups on Ocean Beach, among other things:

 

 

We have a donation box in the classroom and are happy to accept anything you care to give.

 

Thank you for helping to keep our oceans clean!

 

Mr. Dyson
