Spring clean ups were happening all over Middletown Saturday, including a (post) earth day spring cleaning at the Wilbert Snow Elementary School. Members of the Snow School community joined employees of Comcast Cable and Principal Gaudreau to spruce up the school playground including planting flowers, painting and installing an interactive trail. Local politicians, including Mayor Guliano, and state representatives representing Middletown were in attendance.

Why the Sundy Best dress??? Were they there for a photo opp or did they actually get their hands dirty???
I'll say one thing for the mayor. When he comes to one of these things, he actually rolls up his sleeves and pitches in. You expect to see this at civic and even church events, but he participates no matter what he attends. I walked into an art/environmental exhibit last year at Wesleyan, expecting to be the only non-university person in the room, but there he was, kneeling on the floor with everyone else, scooping acres of rice into bags. And he stayed till the bitter end. He's not there for the cameras, he's actually there.
Dear Paul,
Can I just say thank you for writing about Snow School! As someone who writes often (and perhaps more than is strictly necessary, but then again, that's why God made the "scroll down" key) about Macdonough School, it was really nice to get a little flavor from one of our other schools. Do it again please!
