Students Help Clean Local Streams, Trails

Fulton Science Academy Private School students had fun “playing” in the mud and rain on September 26 at the annual Rivers Alive clean-up event. FSA students, teachers and family members picked up a lot of trash along the Riverside Park trails and removed a record amount of Chinese Privet from the wetlands by the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Fulton Science Academy was also awarded the Wet & Wild Award for the most privet removed! Thanks to everyone that participated which included over 30 students who earned 3 Volunteer hours each! A big THANK YOU goes to one of our wonderful FSA parents, Mrs. Tamara Stevens for organizing this event.
