At our school, we decided to have a "Common Good Day" this past weekend. Basically, every house (yes, like Harry Potter) chose a charity they wanted to contribute their time to and used the afternoon of Saturday 20, 2010 to do some community service. Archimedes House (my house) decided to first make some cards to send to children at a children's hospital nearby and then use the afternoon to pick up garbage along a trail close to us.
All in all, I would call Common Good Day 2010 fairly successful only because I hadn't been up in the foothills yet on the trails so I thought it was exceptionally beautiful out! We didn't pick up a TON of trash but I figure, any little bit helps, right? :)
Our whole house after the cleanup...notice the very few bags of trash for the large number of people...
