They also cleaned Suffern Lane and Thiells Mt. Ivy Road before reaching Thiells Elementary School.



   "We're proud of our students for working so well together to beautify our neighborhood," says Jennifer Luongo, assistant principal of Fieldstone Secondary School. "Working as a team the students did an amazing job collecting all the refuse along the walking path."
