MMS students clean up

Posted

BROOKINGS – Hundreds of students spent their Friday afternoon cleaning up around town, plastic garbage bags in hand. They were cleaning up as part of Mickelson Middle School’s Earth Cleanup Day. Although the school wasn’t able to do this during the actual Earth Day, they made up for it with about 850 students who picked up trash or helped plant trees. This group of sixth-grade girls took care of a stretch of 22nd Avenue under the supervision of Laura Hummel, Mickelson Middle School’s sixth- through eighth-grade music teacher.
