COMMUNITY CLEAN UP

MR. JARED SHEARS, TEXAS COLLEGE STUDENT, PICKS UP TRASH ON PALACE AVENUE AS PART OF A COMMUNITY CLEAN UP INITIATIVE

Texas College students are taking pride not only of the campus grounds, but also in the surrounding community. Embodying the Texas College core value of community service, two community clean up initiatives recently occurred in areas adjacent to and nearby the College. The first endeavor in February, spearheaded by the Men of Valor and Excellence (M.O.V.E), alongside other student volunteers, cleaned up the Grand Avenue block directly in front of campus, which extended down 26th Street, around to Palace Avenue, and up 25th Street. Then in March, members of the Steer Football team, with help from Alumnus Christian Gooden, helped to clean up resident’s yards by raking leaves, removing limbs and branches, as well as other yard maintenance tasks.

The clean up efforts illustrate that Texas College students personify the core value of community service and are empowered to engage in life-long leadership and service to their community.
