A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out for our very first TLE Parent Club Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup!

Together, we collected a whopping 13 bags of trash from North and South Pilot K**b Road, discovered a few... very interesting roadside treasures, and, thanks to Highway 73 being closed, apparently became Denver's newest roadside attraction! 👋😂

Whether you were one of our Trash Titans or helped wrangle little ones as a Tiny Tamer, we couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you for giving up part of your Saturday to help keep our community beautiful and for proving that picking up trash can actually be a lot of fun! ♻️🗑
