Coastal Cleanup Day 2009
While Heal the Bay celebrated its 25th Anniversary with this year’s coastal cleanup, we at PDMSS celebrated our 8th year of participation. Our school was well represented last Saturday morning with over 200 volunteers, led by our own Mindy Peterson.
For the first time, we partnered with the City of Malibu. Besides helping us with the tent, supplies and educational briefings, they also brought wonderful raffle prizes, which kept a big crowd of volunteers until noon. Several PDMSS families went home with t-shirts, bottles of spirits, gift certificates and big smiles.
Overall, we collected 60 bags of trash, totaling a whopping 200 pounds. We turned in 20 bags of recycling, totaling 72 pounds. Some of the more unusual and dangerous items we collected were a jagged shiv (a homemade knife), a razor and burial bags.
The annual beach cleanup is an important event for our school. It is a great way for families to get out and work together to keep our neighborhood beaches pristine. It is also a very public way for PDMSS families to show their dedication to the environment and to the ideals of the “Roots and Shoots” organization that form the basis for our environmental efforts.
Hope to see you at Westward Beach next year!

We are very pleased to announce that everyone of our classes have instructional assistants to support our students and our Marine Science Lab classes with Sandy Carter have begun this week thanks to your generous support. We are still awaiting funding for art and music enrichment programs, and know that we can count on you to bring enrichment programs to our students. Please help us by joining the Direct Investment Campaign today. Your tax-deductable donation allows us to ensure a stable, high-quality education for our children. It will take every family’s involvement in order for the PTA to achieve our aggressive fundraising goal - 100% is our goal. We are currently at 48% participation.
