The Partial Observer by Peggy Liddle
Laurens Together Lauds Work of School's Facilities Staff
Laurens Together is a community action group of people who are interested in, and devoted to, improving their hometown community. Some activities organized by this group have included planting flowers at the Laurens Town Hall, picking up roadside litter, painting fire hydrants, gazebo, and bridge, and leading community events such as the Easter egg hunt and Christmas caroling evening.
A few months ago, at one of our meetings, Daniel Liddle presented the idea that we should recognize contributions by community groups and individuals who are important and impact our everyday lives. Dan’s thought was that we needed to recognize people who provided critical services and yet may not always receive the accolades for the work and contributions that they make to our community.
On Wednesday, September 4, during staff conference days at Laurens Central School, Laurens Together showed its appreciation for the services of the maintenance and custodial staff at LCS. This team of individuals maintains our school environment, keeping it clean, safe, and running smoothly for staff, students, and community members who use the facility.
