Student Service Club at Ward Elementary Cleans up Hobby Park


The Student Service Club at Ward Elementary volunteered to participate in The Great American Clean Up by picking up trash at Hobby Park on Saturday, April 9.

“Saturday was an extremely cold, windy day, but students found that when they started walking the trails at the park picking up trash the trees broke a lot of the wind and it was actually warmer,” said Robin Harden, one of the club sponsors.  

“Students not only picked up trash, but enjoyed the lake, the bridges and even searched for crawdads. Mr. Harden and Alec almost picked up a black snake inside an old, abandoned tire.

“The students found that picking up the trash was less of a chore and more of an adventure because of all the things in nature they explored on Saturday. The older students were wonderful to assist the younger students and a great time was had by all.”  

Eight students participated in the event from Ward and one from Meadowlark Middle School.  

They students were: Janiece Ricard, Haley and Tyler Eisenbraun, Arianna Leon, Wesley Garrett, Aubrey McCarthy, Ian Sanchez, Olden Jordan and Alec Harden.

Kristy Franklin and Robin Harden are the sponsors for the Student Service Club.  Parents who volunteered were Glenn Harden, Blanca Leon, Will Garrett, Martha Sanchez, and Heather McCarthy.  


Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful provided a doughnut breakfast and a pizza lunch for the volunteers.
