SURREY, B.C. Students at Ellendale Elementary School in Surrey are being publicly commended after taking it upon themselves to clean up litter found inside the school fencing. The recognition comes via the “Roses & Rotten Tomatoes” column of the local paper, where community members call out exemplary and problematic behaviour.
A local reader wrote in to praise the youngsters, noting how they gathered scattered garbage and helped restore neatness to their school grounds. The act was marked as a thoughtful example of community responsibility and respect for shared spaces.
The piece serves as a small but meaningful reminder that communities especially schoolchildren can contribute positively when they take ownership of their surroundings. Many believe such examples set a valuable precedent in neighbourhoods across Surrey.
For its part, Ellendale Elementary now has local households and readers applauding its students for demonstrating civic pride and a proactive spirit.
