MV Principal Bill Delaney said city officials told him that because of their numbers, the students were able to accomplish in an hour what it would have taken city crews a week to do. The entire school was involved in clean-up and beautification projects throughout the city at parks, the cemetery, ball diamonds, and at the school itself, where the football stadium and parking lots were cleaned up and flower planting was done. The students were well-supervised, Delaney said, by school personnel and city employees, and were rewarded with soft drinks donated by Coca-Cola and popsicles from Meadow Gold at the end of the project.
