Let’s give a big shout-out to Zaira, a CISA summer camp participant at Hill Elementary School and her cousin Dalilah who went above and beyond to make the playground sparkle! They took it upon themselves to scour every nook and cranny, picking up trash from the playground and surrounding neighborhood. Their efforts not only beautified the area but also made it safer for everyone to continue enjoying the playground this summer. Way to go Zaira and Dalilah🙌🏼 your selflessness and environmental stewardship inspire us all. Thanks for reminding us that every small act of kindness and responsibility counts!🌿🌎💚
