On April 23, 2025, the students at New London Middle School/High School will hold their annual Community Day. Students are volunteering to rake leaves, paint, wash windows, pick up rocks, complete small construction projects with adult supervision, pick up trash, and assist in other minor landscaping projects. Helping members of the community complete these Spring tasks was chosen as a great way to say, “Thank You!” to all for their continued support of the school.
If you or anyone you know in the community would like help with any of the tasks listed above, please call the high school office at 319-367-0500 or email Melissa.Bence@nlcsd.org. Melissa will record your name, address, phone number and the projects you need done.
Any supplies needed to complete the projects, like lawn bags, will need to be supplied by the residents. Our students can bring rakes and shovels. All trash/debris will be left at the site for the homeowner to dispose of.
