Friendsville Spring Clean Up

“Open to All Residents” 

The Week of April 29 – May 4, 2024 

We are proud that our community is known as
“the friendliest little town in Maryland”, and now we the residents and officials
in our town join together to make it the cleanest little town in Maryland as well!

Let’s Demonstrate Our Civic Pride!
Cut weeds, mow lawns, and rake leaves around your property.  Clean up those vacant lots too!
Dispose of worn-out furniture, broken appliances, and useless old items.

 (Sorry!  We will not be able to accept old tires or construction debris…)

Our entire town can and should be made as clean and orderly as its cleanest home…then we will have a safer, happier, healthier town.  To have a town clean and beautiful should be the ambition of every one of its citizens.

Pick up of large items will be on
Saturday, May 4, 2024 beginning at 8:00 a.m.

We ask of our town residents’….to separate furniture, appliances and scrap metal for Saturday’s pick-up.

This will help our trash collector in their efforts to remove it quickly.

(We will pick up no more than ten (10) bags of garbage per household.)

Friendsville Elementary 4th & 5th Grade Teams Shine at 18th Annual FLLC MD State Qualifier!

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that our 4th and 5th-grade students recently showcased their exceptional skills and teamwork at the 18th Annual Garrett County FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FLLC) Maryland State Qualifier event on Saturday, February 3, 2024.

Not only did our school send not just one but two amazing teams to the competition, but they also left a lasting impression on everyone present. With a total of 21 participating teams, our students demonstrated creativity, innovation, and teamwork, making us incredibly proud of their accomplishments.

While neither of our teams secured a spot for the States this time around, it’s important to highlight the remarkable progress and success they achieved, especially considering it was their first year participating in such a challenging event. The dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work exhibited by our students are truly commendable.

The event, hosted at the Northern High School, brought together young minds passionate about robotics and technology. It provided an excellent platform for our students to learn, grow, and showcase their skills. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as teams competed in various challenges, fostering a spirit of collaboration and friendly competition.

We want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to both teams for their outstanding efforts and achievements. Your commitment to learning, problem-solving, and teamwork has set a high standard for future participation. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination!

Let’s give a big round of applause to our young innovators, mentors, and everyone who supported them in this exhilarating journey. We can’t wait to see what incredible feats our teams will accomplish in the coming years!

Thank you, Friendsville Elementary community, for your unwavering support. Here’s to nurturing the next generation of leaders and thinkers!
