    I am so proud of all of you. You have made Wylie and Mill Creek a cleaner space. A colleague approached me today to ask if you could speak to students at Beacon and Anchor! The word is getting out! Maybe we can make all of our schools a little cleaner and litter free. Great job!

    Good for you for picking up trash around your school. We also have chip bags and masks around our school. I like your idea of moving the trash can to the area you see the trash. That takes observation and trial and error to really figure out the best location for something

    Good work presenting everyone!

    My favorite part is hearing about the creepy baby doll you found haha
