Pitch-In Kingston spring clean-up in the neighbourhood

On Monday, April 15th, Kindergarten and Grade School students, staff and parents participated in the Pitch-In Kingston spring clean-up in the neighbourhood and parks surrounding our school, including Riverview, Optimist, Hillside, and Friendship Parks. The students were divided into eight mixed-grade groups, led by a Student Social Action Committee member and one to two staff members. The students were enthusiastic participants, and we filled many bags with garbage! Our neighbours expressed their appreciation by calling their thanks from home and car windows, or by coming out of houses to speak with us. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to contribute to our neighbourhood community and to form connections with students from other classes.
