(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Brilliant Star School\u2019s Primary Class \u201cDragonflies\u201d hiked to Old Man by The Sea for a beach cleanup last Oct. 9.  <\/p>\n<p>Of course adventure was on the mind of all the students but the mission was born out of concern for the alarming amount of litter on the beach. The cleanup was instigated by 5-year-old Kanoa Owens, who a few weeks before after seeing all the trash on a hike there, simply said \u201cwe should do a cleanup of the beach.\u201d The idea was embraced by all the kids and their families, and friends and the cleanup was a huge success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the children took the initiative to get the beach clean and learned about environmental stewardship and responsibility. Themes like \u2018hike out what you hike in\u2019 and \u2018leave it cleaner than you found it\u2019 were mantras the students learned during their productive adventure,\u201d said their teacher Bill Owens.<\/p>\n<p>At least 16 bags of trash were collected by the \u201cDragonflies.\u201d (PR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brilliant Star School\u2019s Primary Class \u201cDragonflies\u201d hiked to Old Man by The Sea for a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":262439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[18700,18701,186,18702],"class_list":["post-262413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-bill-owens","tag-brilliant-star-dragonflies","tag-initiative","tag-primary-class-dragonflies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
