Libby students on cleanup patrol

Libby Elementary School students and staff spent part of their Wednesday cleaning up their community as a show of appreciation to Libby and its residents. Students fanned out around town to pick up garbage, while third-graders also assembled a rock garden in front of the school. Organizers said the activity, which they hope will become an annual event, was intended to promote citizenship and instill in students a sense of pride in and respect for Libby. Change for a Dollar, a group from Libby Christian Church, rewarded students by giving each one a free ice cream cone from either CC’s Ice Cream Shop or Billy Goat Ice Cream at Burger Express.
