Two DHS Close Up teams competed at the fourth Dearborn Park/Renewal cleanup on Saturday, November 12. Twenty six students and several brave parents spent the morning removing privit ivy during the three hour competion. DHS Super Close Up came in second place and won $500 to be used to provide travel grants for CU sstudents to attend the 2012 Washington, D.C. trip. It was a great day for Dearborn Park, Renewal Construction (sponsor of the competition) but most of all the DHS students, who learned something about “service over self” (the motto of the Decatur Rotary Club which had a team at the competition.)
