As part of the International Coastal Cleanup, environmental science students spent about an hour and a half cleaning up Fairview's campus. During that time, they collected almost 60 pounds of trash that included, among other items, 927 food wrappers and 249 plastic bottles.

Aiden Figurski added that "it's always nice to give a helping hand to our environment."
