11/08/2020 by jstafford3 Leave a Comment

This month Cadets from the Eastern Washington University (EWU) Reserve Officer Training Program (ROTC) Fighting Eagle Battalion continued its participation in the Adopt-A-Highway program sponsored by the Washington State Department of Transportation.  On November 7, 2020 the Cadets cleaned a section of Lt. Col. Michael P. Anderson Memorial Highway of debris and litter. The section of the road, also known as Highway 904, is located just north of Cheney in Four Lakes.

The Cadets woke up early Saturday morning, donned their safety equipment, and drove to Four Lakes to begin the clean up.  The group then spread out over both sides of the highway to pick up any garbage they saw. Whether it was litter on the road or bulk garbage, EWU ROTC Cadets spent the next couple of hours cleaning up any trash in sight.

Despite the chilly weather the Cadets ended the clean up in high spirits by helping keep the roadside through Four Lakes clean.  The Fighting Eagles battalion looks forward to continuing its partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation to maintain the cleanliness of this busy stretch highway for the local community

On June 1st, 2019, Eastern Washington University (EWU) Reserve Officer Training Program (ROTC) Fighting Eagle Battalion began its participation in the Adopt-A-Highway program sponsored by the Washington State Department of Transportation.  The Cadets cleaned a section of Lt. Col. Michael P. Anderson Memorial Highway of debris and litter. The road, also known as Highway 904, is located just north of Cheney in Four Lakes.

The Cadets woke up early Saturday morning and donned their hard hats and other safety for the day. Arriving at the designated location with their trash bags, the group spread out over the area to pick up any garbage they saw. Whether it was litter on the road or large piece of wood, EWU ROTC Cadets spent the next couple of hours cleaning up any trash in sight.

What the Cadets thought would be a long endeavor of cleaning, only took about two hours. With high spirits and beautiful weather, the Cadets were able to collect multiple bags of trash and a stack of wood. Overall, it was a great day of volunteer work in Four Lakes and the Fighting Eagles Cadets look forward to continuing its partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation to maintain the cleanliness of this busy stretch highway for the local community

Go Fighting Eags!
