"It's very representative of this community, which is concerned for and cares about the environment."Photos courtesy of Long Beach Public Schools:(Image 1) Long Beach Middle School secretary Barbara Vahey, Isabella Silvestri, Principal Paul Romanelli, Assemblywoman Melissa Miller, art teacher Laura Swan, Board of Education Vice President Perry Bodnar, Fabien Cousteau and Scott Bochner with students Lorelai Corbett, Charlise Quigley, Nikkita Kissoon, Maryn Ascher, Matthew Raubuck and Abigail Philips.
