The exercise was part of the school&#8217;s Schedule of Activities, an initiative that allows the school to map out and execute community-focused projects.<\/p>\n<p>Umuaka Times gathered that the school spent three days educating her pupils on volunteerism and community service, preparing them for the cleaning exercise. On Friday, February 13, 2026, 70 pupils from cr\u00e8che to basic 5, accompanied by 9 teachers and school officials, visited the market to carry out the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>The market authorities had given the school a specific section to clean, and the pupils and their teachers set to work, wearing their white hand gloves, nose masks, reflector jackets, and jeans trousers. The exercise started at 2:30 pm and lasted for 30 minutes. Market men and women who witnessed the exercise extolled the school for her innovative idea and described the exercise as worthy of emulation by other schools in Umuaka.<\/p>\n<p>When it was time for the environmental exercise, the deputy chairman of the market, Mr. Chinedu Egbuka, represented the chairman, Chief Uzoma Achazie, and directed the school authorities on where to clean. He expressed gratitude for the school&#8217;s community service initiative and organized light refreshments for the pupils and their teachers.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18692\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-6.png 628w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-6-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Headmistress, Mrs. Lillian Olumba while holding talks with Umuaka Times, explained that the school believes in &#8220;catching them young&#8221; and teaching children the importance of volunteerism from an early age.
