The party was in full swing at the Kingston Library this afternoon as we celebrated the completion of this weeks Clean Up Squad. The kids did an amazing job and were supported by a wonderful group of individuals. Hayes, with Alderwoman Shirley Whitlock spearheaded the project in conjunction with Megan Weiss, who’s tireless efforts made this week such a success. Hannaford, Sav-On Party Supplies, and the Kingston Library were also major factors in the success of the work. All week Megan and the teams of kids were working on projects around the city, including cleaning up and repainting Van Buren Park, which had been overrun with trash and graffiti.
Not just a work program for the children, the week included spending time in workshops and focus groups discussing the reasoning behind what they were doing. Megan and the interns leading the program made a well-rounded effort to instill values in the participants.
