Earth Day Clean-Up

& Celebration of Community
 

Dear Neighbors:

​

     The Historic Church Road One-Room Schoolhouse,

in cooperation with Eldred Township,

is celebrating the 48th annual Earth Day
with a clean-up of Church Road on Sunday April 22nd.

 

​

This is a registered "PennDot Great American Clean-up in Pa" event 

We hope you will join us,

at the 1855 One-Room School at 11:30am

(you can come later if you like).

 

We will provide a plastic trash bag & latex gloves. 
You can clean any part of the road that you like.  
(You may want to clean-up closer to your home

on your way to the school

& join us for refreshments, conversation

and a look at the exhibits in the school

when you drop the bag of collected trash off with us).

 

​

We only ask about 20 minutes of clean-up

(in fact, if you don’t feel up to it, just join us at the school to celebrate community involvement and chat with neighbors).

Our aim is to collect beverage containers & fast food packaging,

thrown from cars.  

​

​

Trash seems to attract more trash

- so getting the few bits off the road now

will help to extinguish this bad behavior.

​

​

Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather that day

and if possible

dress in light-colored clothes for safety purposes.

​

​

When Participating in any Roadside Clean-Up, We Wish to Remind You:
 

​

1. always stay alert and face the direction of traffic 
2. stay in the off-road area 
3. when you are crossing the road be in a straight line of vision with traffic
4. be aware, drivers do not expect to see people along the road,
you will be a distraction, do not make abrupt moves
5. do not work on both sides of the road at the same time

​

THERE IS NO RAIN DATE
