NHS Spends Saturday Cleaning Campus
Students gather leaves by the Alumni Patio.
As part of their annual contribution to the school, the National Honor Society hosted a cleanup for the school on Saturday, March 5. The activity consisted of painting the school and cleaning up garbage all around campus. Members of the club were able to participate in this activity and obtain community service hours.
“It felt great to give back and beautify the school that I’ve been coming to for four years, and what’s special about it is that you can see the improvements we made everyday in the halls, so it makes you feel good,” senior Board Member Albert Garcia said.
Sophomore Kelly Hanley and junior Bryan Tucker get their hands dirty as the painting commenced.
With the sun shining and Miami breeze, the students painted various classrooms that they felt needed to be polished. Some teachers even got to request what they wanted their classroom to look like! In addition, bathrooms were painted and mulch was added to plant areas to improve the Gables campus. Many teachers’ specific visions of their classroom were accomplished and carried out by NHS members.
“There was no joy greater than coming into my room Monday morning and seeing my very own depicted image of my room; it filled me with Gables pride,” History Teacher Mr. Miller said.
