2022 First Day of School Cleanup a Success

Newport Rotary President Mark Eadie
(2nd fr l) and the cleanup crew

A dozen Newport Rotary members and friends spent the day before the first day of school at Newport Elementary School cleaning up, mowing, weed-eating and hanging flowers to make the school grounds look well-kept. 

For over ten years, Newport Rotary has helped the school put its best foot forward when greeting their new students and parents on the first day of school. Budgets and schedules make county mowing and maintenance unlikely to occur in a timely manner. This year there was the added hurdle of security wall construction that was ongoing. Even so, we love to pitch in and help. 

Kudos to Rtn. Maher Saikali for organizing the effort. 

To our new returning elementary school students- have a great first day of school!
