Pictured is Kaitlynn Solbrack tossing weeds into a trash bag with sister Kaili and parents Jennifer and Johnathan at the Enumclaw Bull; EHS football players Brody Hardersen and Dylan Swanson clearing out ivy and sticker bushes with the rest of the team at the Enumclaw Golf Course; and McCoy and Wyatt Chrag taking a (well earned) snack break at the Foothills Trail memorial lot.
