Beecher City Jr/Sr High School recently had their driveway and parking lot oiled and chipped. Afterwards, the sidewalk had a quite a bit of gravel on top of it. Senior, Carson Underwood, asked if you could sweep off the sidewalk during his study hall. He did a knock-out job and we appreciate the self-initiative he took to make things better at our school. Thank you Carson and great job being a positive leader!
