Spring break students spruce up Saline County streets. Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge students spent the morning being good neighbors and cleaning up the city streets. Stonehill College students have a motto, "They might not be next door, but they are still our neighbors." Saline County is far from next door, yet these college students dedicated their spring break to being good neighbors to Saline County. The 15 Stonehill students arrived Sunday night after a 24 hour drive from Massachusetts. They spent Monday and Tuesday at the Habitat construction site breaking ground and framing the 2013 Collegiate Challenge home, which will be a home for a Saline County family. They have also spent the week getting to know the neighbors in Partnership Village. They took a break from hammering to spruce up the community. Habitat's Associate Director, Amy Bennett turned the street cleaning event into a lively game by giving various littered items point values. The students worked in pairs of two as they diligently cleaned South Market St. After 5 hours of street cleaning and over 20 bags of trash collected, the residents of Partnership Village will now have a pristine scenic view on their way home.
It started with a truck load and ended truck load.
