On Tuesday, September 23, the freshman and sophomore classes of Calvary Christian schools cleaned up a part of the I-96 Highway. These students do this twice a year, once in the fall and another time in the spring. It was a beautiful September day, and although very hot and sunny, the students still had a pretty good time doing some community service. The two volunteer student advisors for this trip were Mr. Foutz (with the sophomore class) and Mr. Payton (with the freshman class). They did a great job making sure the students were very safe on the side of the highway, because they are masters of security. Mr. Foutz prided himself by proving he “picked up the most trash because he obviously had the most trash bags filled”. Chris Byers, Vice President of the sophomore class, did not find these evidences to be true. At least this time nobody happened to mistake a cactus for a piece of trash. I think the students learned that from experience. As for the freshman class, this lovely experience was yet to come.
After the students had been cleaning up for around a half an hour, the big yellow bus driven by Mr. Maine (athletic director of CCS) stopped by each class to re-supply trash bags and hydration level. What a thoughtful being he is! Surprisingly, the sides of this part of the highway were not as dirty this fall as they had been in previous years. This was noticed by sophomores Emily Turbett and Alyssa Chartrand. This could mean the people of our Western Michigan community are realizing the importance of keeping our environment clean. Hopefully, this observation will be seen in the future of highway clean-up students.
