Cleaning up on Marathon Day
Students were easy to spot around Jordan as they raked lawns, cleaned a church and sang to residents at the Schule Haus.
The occasion was the annual Marathon Day on Friday, Oct. 26, which had a fund-raising goal of $23,400 for St. John the Baptist Catholic School.
Students planned to rake at 25 addresses, including the flower gardens at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
Luckily, the rain and even snow of the previous days let up for a cool fall day, and the leaves were only damp. Students raked them onto tarps, then put the leaves into trailers to be hauled away.
