We Did It, West Bedford.

During the 2025–2026 school year, twenty-nine West Bedford School students came together and made a real, visible difference in their community.

The Team

29 students. One goal.

West Bedford students gathered for the community cleanup

The Work

Before, during, and after.

Area before cleanup — litter scattered across rocky ground Before

Litter scattered across the rocky area — packaging, cardboard, and waste piled up over time.

Student actively collecting litter during the cleanup During

Students working through the area section by section, filling bags as they went.

One full bag collected from a single section — multiply that across 29 students and you get the full picture.

The Final Count

Around 13 bags of waste removed from West Bedford.

Every single bag represents litter that would have stayed in our community — washing into waterways, piling up in green spaces, and making West Bedford look like nobody cared. 29 students proved otherwise.

This is just the beginning.

One cleanup won't solve everything — but it proves that students in West Bedford care about where they live. We hope this becomes something that continues every year, growing bigger each time.
