“Love your park was a great event! I would like to add to the list of volunteers for the Marconi Park event. We had over 40 eighth grade students from Bregy Elementary School that participated in a pre clean up event on Friday.”

“"Thank you for recognizing Bregy's awesome 8th grade classes! The kids really enjoyed helping to keep their neighborhood clean. They were proud of themselves and all they accomplished in a short time. Bregy Elementary 1700 Bigler street is now adopting a litter-free recycle program headed by our 8th graders. I'm so proud to be a part of the Bregy family!" Counselor Bronca
