OSHS Art Club had their hand in a powerful installment of stewardship for our awesome "backyard" beaches. As Mrs. Britt says, leave it better than you found it! Students have been learning about how art has power, power to change habits, vibes, and minds. These cigarette containers will be installed on front beach this Saturday! Come clean up our backyard for the 3rd annual Alan Test clean up! 9am-12pm Way to go, Mrs. Britt and Art Club students!

The cleanup is named in memory of Alan Test, who is described as an advocate for protecting the coastal environment.
