The Great Beach Clean-Up<\/strong> was a huge success. The team worked for nearly two hours. The grown-ups lifted the heavy pieces of wood and fishing nets, while the children searched carefully in the sand and under the bushes for smaller items like bottle caps and straws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were finished, Safety Beach was sparkling<\/strong>. The sand looked whiter, the ocean looked bluer, and the air smelled fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Henderson bought everyone ice blocks as a thank you. As Liam and Maya ate their icy treats, they looked out at the beautiful, clean beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We did it,” Maya said, licking the melting juice from her fingers. “It just shows what a few people can do when they work together.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
