NEWS RELEASE
"Kids Make a Difference Day"

Kim Foss, Lea Hill Elementary School fifth grade teacher and ASB advisor, spear-headed the school’s first "Kids Make A Difference Day.” The project’s focus was to clean-up the school’s National Educational Landmark Nature Trail. Ms. Foss brought together students, families, and local scout groups in a joint effort to clean up the heavily overgrown trail. The volunteers worked from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 22. The end result was a freshly spruced up trail where litter, blackberry bushes, and overgrown greens are now removed, making the trail attractive for class visits and studies.
