Recently I left the house later than I ever had before (I wasn’t late for school, luckily!). On my walk, I must go through the train station to cross over the tracks.  There I saw an amazing sight: a dozen well-dressed young men with brooms. Courteously greeting everyone. And sweeping the station!

From their uniforms I could tell they were from a local high school. It has some specialized programs that attract students from beyond the town and many of whom take the train to school.  I suspect exactly which students clean the station each day is somehow based on their sports teams but I didn’t actually confirm this since they seemed confused enough when I asked for a photo!

I’ll leave it at that for now…
