Cleaned! The Cut and More
Thanks to our 32 student/parent volunteers for making our Big Sweep participation a great success! RJ Reynolds High School was one of 25 teams across Forsyth County that donated time and effort last Saturday to Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful. Special thanks to Una Wilson and the Eco Club for the strong turnout.

Not only did we “Clean the Cut,” we also cleaned the entire campus including picnic areas, student/teacher/bus parking lots, tunnel, grassy area across from the gym, and even more. Well done! Hope to see you at the next school clean-up.
The store is now open!
