A big thank you to Mrs. Schlegel for helping organize our city wide cleanup at Bear Valley last weekend. She is amazing and has had a special place in her heart for community cleanup for decades. We collected over 60 bags last weekend and the work continued through the week. Thank you also to families who participated. Many hands make light work and brighter places to live.
