We think it would be a great idea for all Bolton Elementary students to join the program and adopt a highway. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people.

This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean. Also, the state does not have to send out as many road workers.
This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially kids like us, cleaning them up.
