8th Grade Life Group Project – Alabaster Street Clean-upOn Saturday May 30th, the 8th grade girls and guys participated in an Alabaster street clean-up. The group joined with Freewill Missionary Baptist Church, Christ Church, and the city of Alabaster to clean up garbage from the streets in several low income neighborhoods around the Shelby County Alternative School.
It was hot, dirty, and smelly work but we were all blessed to be a part of the team. Our group, led by Mrs. Kim Frank and her husband Larry, greeted each person we saw in the neighborhood, as well as those that drove by with a friendly hello, a smile, and the girls all said “have a great day”.
We picked up everything from cans, bottles, food containers, paper, old tires, and even some underwear (thanks Justin!). It was amazing how different the streets looked after we were finished.
After the trash clean-up, we joined the other teams at Christ Church and they had prepared hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone. They were so thankful for our help that they called us their special guests and asked us to get our food first. We all ate and had great fellowship before returning to Area 51.
