beautify the school's entrance. One of the day's organizers, Christi Annett, said they wanted to help make the school look a little better. She also said this is a good way for students to get community service credits.

Brian Annett, who helps with the baseball team, said it was not unusual for the baseball team to come out and help clean up the grounds of the school. “They [the baseball team] work every other Thursday on the grounds of the baseball field to help clean up,” said Brian. “They are a great group of kids who take pride in their school and their team. That's what we try to teach them, to be positive male role models.”
