On Sunday, May 31 fourteen members of Ventura High School’s Global Warming Action Team (GWAT) and three adult volunteers represented the Ventura Hillsides Conservancy (VHC) in a cheering competition hosted by the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon. The GWAT members arrived at 5:30 a.m. and danced, sang and cheered for 6.5 hours straight!
Thanks to the hard-work and enthusiasm of the GWAT cheerers, VHC received the most votes from the runners and earned the top $3,000 prize! To anyone who thinks that high schoolers’ are unmotivated, think again – GWAT is simply amazing!
