I am a part of the 8th-grade civics class at the Bellingham High School. We want to make a change in our town! We decided that we are going to help clean up Silver Lake Park. We are going to clean it and try to raise money for new equipment. Our plan is to get enough signatures to convince the town to pay for a cleaner to go and clean up the park once or twice a month. We also are going to try and get donations for people who are willing to help fix up the park so the kids can have fun safely! The park is a mess and we plan to fix that! The park is dirty, there are broken toys and other things everywhere, the water is even dirty!
