Kearns Academy Completes Three Stream Cleanups
Kearns Academy students were quick to complete three stream cleanups near their school since adopting the stream in October of last year. The Stormwater Division would like to recognize the Kearns Academy Chapter of Skills USA, Girls Who Code Club and the National Technical Honors Society for donating their time to help protect our water quality here in High Point. The students love the opportunity to serve their community and are interested in hearing about other ways to get involved. Thank you, The Kearns Academy Walkway Cleanup!
The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics North Carolina is coming to High Point, and the High Point Police Department invites everyone to join in the fun!
Annually, more than 110,000 dedicated and compassionate law enforcement members carry the Flame of Hope, symbolizing courage and the celebration of diversity, uniting communities around the globe.
The local run is Thursday, May 23, and is open to the public to participate. It starts at the High Point Police Department at 8:30 a.m. and ends at Sheetz on NC-68. The route is 10.8 miles, but it is broken up into six separate relays. Individuals can run as many relays as they want or come cheer on the runners along the route. This is a great cause to support Special Olympics NC athletes from Guilford County.
Those interested can sign up to run here. The link can also be found pinned to the top of the High Point Police Department’s Facebook page.
Employees Celebrate Twinning Day
The City of High Point celebrated National Lookalike Day with an employee twinning day. Employees were encouraged to wear identical outfits on April 19 and submit their photos to be entered in a contest. Once all photos were submitted, employees voted on their favorite sets of twins. Thank you to all our exceptional employees who participated in or voted for our Twinning Day competition, and congratulations to our winners!
