We are proud to say that Oasis (Chris) came in 3rd! This project was not only fun but very informative.
TEAM WORK! Is simply wonderful!
Oasis Does their part!
Oasis along with Academy Prep Center For Education strive to do their part in keeping Pinellas County beautiful. On this day students from our schools got together to clean up Pinellas County.
Isn't it wonderful to see children doing their part to keep things clean. Littering and pollution is way out of hand these days and it's important to get the youth of our communities involved so that they (our future) can make a difference.
It's a small step towards a huge problem, and all children would love to lend a helping hand given the chance. It didn't take much to get these fine students to do their very best.
We'd like to say thank you to all of the kids involved. Pinellas County is proud to have their support.
A hearty thanks goes to Academy Prep. as well for inviting us to their school for a fine pizza lunch and a fun time playing basketball afterwards.
Let's continue to keep Pinellas County beautiful. Please folks don't litter and if you happen to see something someone else left behind, be kind and lend a hand. Pick it up and throw it away.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
