Advisory For Immediate Release
February 6, 2008
Louisville Collegiate School to launch Green Mile Program
Collegiate partners with Operation Brightside’s
Adopt-a-Mile Initiative
LOUISVILLE, KY. – Louisville Collegiate
School and Operation Brightside are partnering to improve
a stretch of Cherokee Road between Baxter Avenue and Cherokee
Parkway as part of Brightside’s Adopt-a-Mile program.
The school’s first pick-up is scheduled for Friday,
Feb. 8 from 2-4 p.m.
The project, sponsored by Louisville Collegiate
School’s Parents Association, will provide another connection
between the school and the historic Cherokee Triangle neighborhood,
as well as an opportunity for students, faculty and parents
to work together for a cleaner environment. At least four
times during the year, school groups will walk the mile armed
with gloves, bags and vests supplied by the city to pick-up
litter along the sidewalks and roadway.
"This partnership is a great example
of Collegiate's commitment to our neighborhood community,
and link to global concerns," said Head of School Scott
Prince. "Preserving our neighborhood and teaching environmental
habits will leave a legacy and inspire stewardship.”
A second pick-up date is tentatively scheduled
for Saturday, March 29, which coincides with Operation Brightside’s
community-wide clean-up date.
Established in 1915, Louisville Collegiate
School is a co-ed college-preparatory independent school for
students from JK through 12th grade.
