Hope Academy West students look at plant seeds, not litter


Mrs. Zelek’s fifth grade class at Hope Academy West recently participated in a countywide program sponsored by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District.
Plant Pride, Not Litter is an annual cleanup and beautification event where students plant trees and flowers and pick up litter.
Assisted by Dan Reagan, the class transplanted tree seedlings and bulbs. Due to weather, we weren’t able to pick up litter, but it is certainly in our plans before the school year ends.
The staff is looking forward to watching our garden develop into a scenic area for all to enjoy.
