SV Magnet Programs Volunteer with Adopt-a-Highway

On Saturday, August 19th, Discovery and Explorations students (and parents) spent the morning removing litter from Two Notch Road between Sparkleberry Lane and Clemson Road. The magnet programs initially adopted this stretch of road in August of 2021 in an effort to help keep our community roads clean. This past Saturday marked the beginning of our third year of service. Our magnet students and parents have truly made a noticeable difference on this stretch of road. A huge thank you to all who volunteered!!
