Girl Scout Troop Helps Keep Shelton Clean

Who: 15 kindergarteners in Girl Scout Troop 60730

School:

Accomplishment: Participating in the Shelton's Clean Sweep Program, which took place April 16-24 across the city, where organizations and individuals picked areas in town to clean in the spirit of Earth Day.

Key to Awesomeness: The girls spent their meeting time on Monday, April 25 cleaning up litter around the school grounds. They volunteered their time and were willing to get dirt under their fingernails in an effort to keep Shelton beautiful. The girls filled at least five garbage bags of litter and were very happy to help clean up their school and town.
