Balmoral Junior Secondary
School students Cheri Hamm, 12,
and Jenny Ramsey, 12, recenily
combined a shared concern for the
environment with a linear-thinking

organize their fellow Grade 8 stu-
dents for an afternoon of
neighborhocd garbage cleanup.

Said Ramsey, ‘“We will continue
doing things like this until peopie

weekend planning the logistics of
coordinating, supplying and
rewarding their cleanup brigades,
which plucked trash from the
streets of North Vancouver’s
Braemar, Larson, Carisbrooke and
Delbrook Park areas. Super Valu

Ramsey admitted.

Hamim and Ramsey arranged to
have each garbage collector donate

ready casting green eyes across the
