MV Cares - 32nd Annual Coastal Clean Up

Over 70 Monarch students made their way to Mission Beach Saturday morning. Instead of towels and surfboards, the students were donned with latex gloves and plastic bags as they scoured the beach for trash.

This is Monte Vista's sixth year participating in I Love A Clean San Diego's Coastal Cleanup Day. The Monarch Team is led by Paula Delgado and Marisa Alvarado, who teach Oceanography and AP Environmental Science respectively. The students arrive at 9 am and are assigned a section of the beach to patrol. In a three hour shift, students typically collect between 100 - 150 lbs of trash.
