On Thursday, October 22nd, New Haven schools had a half day. During the afternoon, the school’s FBLA raked 16 yards around town. There are over 160 students in this organization who were split into 6 different groups. Each group raked an average of 3 yards. On average, each group finished raking their yards within an hour and a half. This time included raking, filling up the trucks with leaves, and then taking the leaves to the dump.

Around 3:45pm, everyone was done and came back to the school and celebrated their hard work! Everyone worked very well together and got along. “"It went alot smoother than usual, only one yard needed more help. It was easier since most of the leaves hadn't really fallen yet," Jared Horstmann stated. Another fellow FBLA member, Maddie Fleer, had a positive attitude as well and said, “Drive By Raking when really well! I had the Kelly's house and despite it being so large, my group got it done because we all worked really hard. It was a fast, fun event!”
“Drive by raking was a good time. There aren't a whole lot of opportunities for friends to get together and perform some community service,” Jonathan Stone excitedly said. This is due to the fact that students have only a few days off from school which limits the opportunities for students come and work together as a whole. Drive By Raking went very well and everyone seemed to have a positive attitude about it.
The owner’s of each yard were very thankful for FBLA’s teamwork and help. Thank you to Mrs. Frick for the delicious cookies afterwards! Everyone loved them.
