CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield varsity basketball team, Girl Scouts and Clearfield’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) volunteered at the Clearfield Revitalization Corp.’s Beautification Day on May 16.
Students helped clean, weed and plant flowers in Shaw Park in downtown Clearfield. Some of the students also helped to clean the Susquehanna River bank located along West Front Street from the Nichol Street Bridge to the Novey property.
Main Street Manager Loretta Wagner states, “The CRC is proud to work with Clearfield students and empower them to benefit the community through Beautification Day. The students focused on Shaw Park, which is home to the Santa House and the Corner Concert Series.
“The CRC wants the kids to be a part of community development and be able to take pride in our town. It is important for kids to be invested in our community and this is a great project for them.”
