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.)
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!

We are excited to share a remarkable moment of patriotism and community involvement that took place at the Town Council meeting on September 18, 2023. At the meeting, the Woodmen Life Chapter 45 presented our town with a symbol of unity, pride, and national identity—an American flag.
The American flag is a cherished emblem of our nation’s history and values, and its presentation by Woodmen Life is a testament to their commitment to our community and their support for the principles that our country holds dear.
This generous gesture serves as a reminder of the importance of community partnerships and the shared values that bind us together. It represents the enduring spirit of collaboration that makes our town a special place to call home.
As we proudly display this flag in our community, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Woodmen Life for their dedication to our town and their recognition of the significance of the American flag in our lives.
Let us all take a moment to reflect on the unity, strength, and resilience that the American flag represents and continue to work together to build a brighter future for our community.
