Editor,

We are very proud of the way that the citizens of Barre went about cleaning the roadsides and parks in the city. Participants filled over 400 green up bags last week and covered over 20 miles of streets that desperately needed help. Spaulding High School itself had about 100 student volunteers and more than 60 community members selected streets and picked up bags at our bag pickup sites! A special thanks goes to the city workers who collected the bags around the city. Though Green Up Week was a tremendous success, it is important to remember to continue to clean up these streets on our own time and to keep Barre as clean and healthy as we can.
