Clean UP!

Make it Cleaner.

  • Clean up every month.
    • So we do not have trash stack up and we have time to keep everything clean.
  • Pick up trash outside the school.
    • So the school looks good.  Trash on the ground everywhere would make the school look ugly.  Plus the trash creates pollution.
  • Clean up the bathrooms.
    • To keep up good hygiene and stop the spread of germs that can cause people to get sick.
  • Fix the bathroom sinks.
    • Broken sinks means people will not wait to wash their hands.  Not washing your hands will spread germs.
  • Clean up the front of the school.
    • So when visitors come, they will not think we are a messy school.  Plus it will not attract wild animals that can spread diseases.
  • Clean up the hallways.
    • So the janitors do not have extra work to do.
  • Clean up the recces area.
    • So we do not spread germs from the equipment.
  • Clean up everywhere.
    • If we can do it at school, why not at home and our neighborhoods.
  • For detention, we HAVE clean up.
    • A good way to help teach people about keeping clean and to show them how important it is to be clean.  If people do not want to clean the bathrooms, they might be good to avoid detention.
  • Clean up graffiti.
    • School walls are not a place for graffiti except maybe in art class.
  • Clean up the school grounds.
    • By keeping it clean, we give a good impression about the students and teachers and staff of Coleman because we are the best!
