Whiteaker holds day of service
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
More than 100 Whiteaker
Middle School students spent
Saturday, Oct. 28 at Keizer
Rapids Park raking and picking
up leaves, ripping down invasive
species of blackberry bushes,
spreading bark dust and picking
up trash.
“We just want to be able to
give our kids a lot of opportuni-
ties to give back to the commu-
nity but also so they can feel like
they’re part of the community,”
Whiteaker social studies teacher
James Decker said.
“We’re going to continue
these types of activities to
empower Whiteaker kids to
understand how important it is
to give back and the importance
of service and second of all,
just to help out Keizer because
Keizer does so much for all
these kids, why can’t they give
back to it?”
The idea of giving back
started last year with a day of
service at Whiteaker.
“This is something that we’re
going to continue to do with
the city of Keizer pretty much
every year now,” Decker said.
Joining the middle schoolers
were elementary and high
school students as well as
parents, members of Boy Scout
Troop 19 and others from the
community.
“I want to see a thousand
people out here. That would be
ideal,” Decker said. “Anybody
that wants to come.”
