Incline Green Clean, it takes a community to clean our home!!
Our names are Samiya Jenkins and Bekie Sussman. We are juniors and IHS and love being outdoors. Some of our favorite activities include paddle boarding, hiking, and relaxing on the beach. At IHS, we are a part of the National Honors Society (NHS).
In NHS we elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character through a service project of our choice. For our NHS, project we are organizing a community trash clean up on June 1st from 9-12am! Our goal is to connect the community by cleaning our home.
We chose this as our project because we love our home and hate to see it getting destroyed. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep our home clean, which is why we want to get the community involved. It takes a community to clean our home!! It is important that we prevent trash from ending up in the lake, which is why we also need to raise awareness. Thus, we are going to Incline Middle School to teach the next generation about the importance of keeping our environment clean.
We created an informative powerpoint on the importance of keeping our beautiful home clean. We hope that they will learn to value their home and take initiative to keep it clean. Furthermore, we are advertising to the whole community! We want as many people involved in our town’s beautification.
This is a great family-friendly event; kids of all ages are welcome. Teaching kids the importance of taking care of the environment and our village is very important, not just one day a year but everyday of the year.
Join us at 9am at the Incline Village Library. The route is created by Waste Not, and we will be cleaning the areas that contain the most trash around the village. Permission slips for children and clean-up supplies (trash bags, gloves, etc.) will be provided at the Incline Village Library. Please join us on June 1st (9-12 am) at the Incline Library to clean our beautiful home!
From 11am – 2pm back at the library is the Incline Village Library Summer Block Party and Summer Reading Kick-off. There will be activities and informational booths from organizations around town. Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge and get a free book, grab a few friends and play a game or two of cornhole, enjoy free hot dogs, and many other fun summer time activities.
