Centralia High School ‘Rake and Run’ helps clean up fall debris in Edison District

Posted

Centralia High School's second Rake and Run event since it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic was a resounding success, organizers reported.

“We ended up having a great turn out with three times the amount of staff involvement, twice as much student involvement and we even had a few community members join in along the way,” Centralia High School teacher Danette Jones said in an email to The Chronicle.

In total, 20 high school students and 14 staff members, including Principal Scot Embrey and two counselors, helped Edison District residents rake leaves to clean up the neighborhood and prevent potential flooding during the winter months.



The event was organized by the shared leadership committee Parent Involvement and Community Outreach. 

“There was way more raking and collecting of leaves than running and it was a lot of fun,” Centralia High School said in a Facebook post about the event. “Thank you to the many homes, in the Edison District, that allowed us to clean up and collect their leaves. We hope our service was helpful!”
