Taylor, a fourth grader in Mrs. Hudson's class, recently came up with the idea to start a group called “Garbage Destroyers.” The goal is simple but powerful: help keep our playground and school grounds clean while encouraging students to work together and take pride in their environment. She is actively encouraging students to make a difference on our school campus.
