Pioneer Christian School Students Clean Up Guymon

GUYMON, OKLA. – The city of Guymon has a persistent sanitation challenge. Often, when trash is placed in dumpsters behind homes, the strong Oklahoma wind can carry it across town. As a result, areas around Guymon frequently accumulate litter. 

To address this issue, students from Pioneer Adventist Christian School set out on a trash collection outing. The teacher identified an area in need of the most cleanup, and students spent an hour picking up debris. 

While collecting trash, the students discovered a city sign requesting that the property owners clean up their property. The students were happy to help this owner with the project of cleaning up the lot. After an hour, with about 10 bags of trash collected, the students headed back to school, satisfied in knowing that they had done their job well.
