Eighth grader Lauryn Wells of Waverly CSD said, “Just the fact that we all wanted to help make the community looking better and stuff like that. Just make a better connection with the earth and make it a better place.”
Another eighth-grader student Maddison Harvey joined the conversation adding, “The world is kind of nasty right now, and we’re trying to clean it out to make it a better place to live. It’s better to be in the community because most people see it. They think that it’s a better place to be here, and they feel welcomed.”
One student emphasized the fun of going outside and cleaning up the community to make it a better place.
