'Clean And Green': School Plans To Help Neighborhood With Chores

GREENDALE, WI — Registration has opened for the Greendale Middle School "Clean and Green Day." The event is meant to help older adults out with chores around the house and in the garden, according to a flier posted to the school district's Facebook page.

To reach as many older adults as possible with the event, Greendale Middle School 7th graders and their students will be spending about 30 minutes at each home, the Facebook post says. Some suggested activities include cleaning up debris from the winter, planting bulbs, hanging a picture, putting up screens and sweeping a walk.

Those who request help on the day are expected to provide the supplies and must be home during the labor, according to the event flier. The event is planned to take place on June 3, 12:45-2:45 p.m.

Pre-registration for the event, which is meant for older adults, opened up on Monday and is set to close on May 26, the flier says.

Registration is available at the Greendale Middle School office, 6800 Schoolway, or at the Greendale Park and Recreation office, 5647 Broad Street.

The questionnaire posted to the Greendale Schools Facebook account can also be filled out and mailed to Greendale Middle School, 6800 Schoolway, Greendale WI, 53129. Questions can be directed to Lee Burish or Melissa Fonte at GMS by calling 414-423-2800 ext. 3278 or ext. 3275.
