Students at Carl Sandburg Middle School in Mundelein spent Tuesday afternoon picking up garbage around the school as part of a community service club project.
Three students and staff members walked along Hawley Street and Midlothian Road to collect fast-food bags, bottles, cans and any other garbage they could find.
English as a Second Language teacher Gretchen Garza, who heads up the community service club, said she hopes the kids feel good about their volunteer efforts. “Working together, we can make a difference in our community wherever we are,” Garza said.
