Guess what everyone? This time we’re celebrating not one, not two, but an entire classroom of Green Heroes! The wonderful grade 1/2 split class at North Highlands elementary was nominated by their teacher Valerie Shouse. These students are part of the “Clean Up Crew” at the school and spend their time at recess picking up garbage around the playground. On Earth Day the whole class cleaned up the school grounds and as you can see in the pictures, had a lot of fun doing it!
