EARNN (Environmental Awards for Recycling in Norfolk Neighborhoods) points equate to cash for our civic league activities!

Please come out this Saturday May 14th and participate in the Great American Cleanup.

9 am to 11 am, Suburban Park Elementary School, corner of Thole Street and Suburban Parkway.

We’ll be working on some backlogged projects the city/school system hasn’t been able to get around to:

-Trimming hedges

-Pressure washing siding

-General cleanup

You’ll only be occupied for an hour or two.  For this event the points our civic league earns for EARNN is based on participation, so please come out and sign in to end moral support, even if you can’t lend physical support!

Yard tools would be appreciated (rakes,  etc.) and we would particularly appreciate anyone who has gasoline-powered hedge clippers (limited electrical access).

Trash bags, gloves, refreshments, etc. provided.

This is a great way to meet neighbors, help Suburban Park Elementary, beautify the neighborhood, and earn EARNN points!  Bring the kids to involve them in environmental stewardship and community engagement.

This Saturday April 18th is KEEP NORFOLK BEAUTIFUL DAY, the day the Great American Cleanup comes to Suburban Acres.

Our project this year is assisting Granby Elementary School (across Granby Street at 7101 Newport Ave.) with some beautification projects.  We will be spreading mulch, replenishing sand in the playground sand box, doing a general clean-up, and tending the school garden (students have planted their spring seeds, so momentum is already there!).

Please join us at 9 am. This will NOT be difficult work, but it will go more quickly with more friends… and supervision for the younger ones.  (If you are dropping off a youngster to participate, please see us at the sign-in table for a parental permission slip before you leave).

Refreshments, water, etc. and work gloves, as well as some rakes, shovels, brooms, and wheel barrows will be provided (please bring rakes, shovels, brooms, and wheel barrows if you have them).  Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes.

Please join the Granby Elementary School staff, LEAP Norfolk volunteers, local Girl Scouts, and your neighbors for this event and let’s make a great memory while helping beautify our area and earn EARNN (Environmental Awards for Recycling in Norfolk Neighborhoods) points!

The Great American Clean Up is the LARGEST VOLUNTEER effort in the United States each year with 2 Million participants…come be a part of something HUGE.
