(Riverton, WY) – Dear Reader,
I just had the most wonderful experience that I would like to share with you.
This last Thursday I was going up Griffey Hill on Airport Road. I came upon a group of students, twenty or so, and when I topped the hill, I saw at least another fifty students.
I could not believe my eyes. They all had garbage bags and were cleaning up that road on both sides of the barrow ditch.
I pulled over and spoke to one of the students and asked him who they were with. He said they were all Riverton High School students. Apparently this was their “day of service” and they sure were performing a valuable and needed service.
As a business owner that uses that road every day, I can tell you it was “WONDERFUL”.
That road has not looked this good in a very long time and it sure needed the attention. Thank you to the students. It was a real bright spot in my day and sure enhanced my view of our next generation.
Good job,
Ron Warpness
