Parents, teachers and students at the Orchard Gardens K-8 Pilot School have been complaining about the large number of discarded needles, liquor bottles, trash and body waste on the school grounds.

Protective fencing has gone up in the rear of the school by Chadwick Street.

The community is asking for your help on Saturday, May 4, from 1-5pm to help clean the school grounds. Orchard Gardens Pilot School is located at 906 Albany Street, Roxbury.
