Earthwatch Saves the Earth One Mile at a Time
On Saturday, February 27, 2010, ten Bourgade Catholic students, along with Amber Pirkl's Dad and sister, completed Earthwatch's Bi-Annual Adopt-a-Highway service project. Mr. Gish and Mr. Pirkl supervised and assisted in picking up trash. A couple of unusual pieces of "trash" were unearthed - a dead coyote and the head from a life-sized Christmas nutcracker! The students who participated were Monica Morales, Genesis Ochoa, Melissa Garcia, Ciara Romero, Ira Confidence, Evelyn Gonzalez, Robert Miranda, Ramir Arboleda, Mike Roasa, and Amber Pirkl. If you happen to be out on the Carefree Highway heading towards Wickenburg, look for Bourgade Catholic's sign at mile marker 11.
