Homeroom

Well into the first month of Back to School 2014, I'm wondering if any K-12 buildings in the area have monthly or weekly in-depth cleaning projects scheduled?  (Now don't go straight to the lunchrooms and lavatories either)

Some thoughts to get this sort of project started are simple.


  •  work with  the school board and contracted cleaning service by taking note of frequented areas inside and out of the building that appear run down.     
  • Ask permission to have a monthly after school or weekend Field Day project to address the noted areas
  • Assign responsibility for Friday Field Day to different student clubs each month and alternate weekly tasks so everyone is able to get involved.  
  • Be mindful of your neighbors-Include School Bus Routes Stops in the plan as well.  Debris generated by pedestrians in route to and from school is a nuisance to your neighbors who aren't on your schedule. 
  • For Teachers-are your students held accountable for cleanliness/sanitation of common areas like they might be away from school?  Assemble a group and ask them to accompany you for a tour of their school building with fresh eyes.
