SOMERSWORTH—
The Somersworth High School Interact Club and Somersworth Youth Connection (SYC) are hosting “Spirit Up Somersworth” community wide clean up day in celebration of Earth Day, on April 17, 2010 (with a rain date of April 24), from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. It is our hope to raise awareness of our environment and get as many City Leaders, Businesses, Community Organizations, Youth Groups, School Organizations and our families to celebrate Earth Day and beautify our community of Somersworth. The goal is to challenge Somersworth to have 1,000 people participate in cleaning up their community in designated areas, or in their own neighborhoods.
“Spirit Up Somersworth” kicks off in the parking lot at Somersworth Middle School on Saturday morning, April 17th, 8-8:30 a.m., sign in your group and pick up supplies. Participants will then head off to a designated area of the community to make them sparkle. Trash bags and gloves will be provided; garden tools are limited, so please bring your own rake. Also included in the day’s event will be raffle prizes, food, music, vendors, displays and great company.
Last year we had over 250 high school students, middle school students, families, and groups cleaning the school grounds, downtown areas, and various neighborhoods. SYC encourages all youth to take pride and ownership in their community, by participating in many service-learning activities throughout the school year. Together, SYC and SHS Interact Club are hoping to create connections to our community, a commitment to get involved, and make a difference.
Please sign up your group or family today! For more information, or to sign up for this event please contact: Maureen Jackman at 692-2242, ext. 204 or Pam Martin at 692-2126, ext. 209
