The children, students in Cara Osmin's third grade class, won one of five Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism awards from the Oregon Department of Transportation. According to Osmin, the kids made a "com munity minded resolution" at the beginning of the school year. They wanted to make the school grounds cleaner. As a result of their resolution, said Osmin, they decided to go around the school grounds every two weeks to pick up litter. Their project has now expanded to include the library/museum and city park grounds. Osmin, to make the project safer for the kids, wrote to SOLV for a grant to get orange vests and money to refurbish their school sign. The students also use SOLV bags to pick up litter. Their teacher then decided to nominate the class for the SOLV award and the students w on for "B est C lean u p Organized by Youth".
