Students clean up St. Alphonsus school

Posted by Geeky Swedes on April 27th, 2009

A group of students spent their Saturday sprucing up St. Alphonsus School.

As part of the the Spring Rebuilding 2009 day for Rebuilding Together Seattle, local high school students worked on several big projects at the school. Margie Thirlby at RTS says the students painted the 1st floor cafeteria area, tore down an unused loft, did a big kitchen cleaning project, and removed clutter from the school. In total, there were 800 volunteers and 23 projects completed throughout the city. (Thanks for the picture Tricia!)

    That blue is almost the exact same shade of blue that Obama was painting inside houses just before taking office.

    Way to Go Saint Al's -
    I can't think of a local school that needs more help to clean up than you guys!
    Glad you got around to cleaning that kitchen.

    This will teach young students that cleaning a school is always important to prevent germs and viruses..
