Thirty-Seven student prepare to tackle litter on Middle School Road.

Donning reflective orange vests and pulling on plastic gloves, and  armed with large trash bags and  a lot of determination, thirty-seven Greene Early College students and four staff members attacked the litter and trash along the 1.2 mile stretch of Middle School Road on  February 17.  When school is in session, more than 1200 students, staff and parents travel this road to Middle School or Intermediate school each day  The initiative led by English teacher, Natasha Martin, and begun eleven years ago,  comb this road four times a year.  As a part of the North Carolina Adopt-A-Highway, GEC remains committed to a contractual agreement with the Department of Highway signed in 2012.  As always the case, students are amazed at the amount of trash and litter thrown along the road and in the ditches.  However, during this cleanup, junior Emma Roberson(see picture) found some cash in the trash.
