Trustees propose school‑led naming, education program for Suamico's new street sweeper

Trustees discussed a proposal to involve local schools in naming and creating educational events around the village’s new street sweeper during the April 6 meeting.

A trustee suggested opening the naming process to Howard, Bay View, Forest Glenn and other Suamico elementary/middle schools, potentially aligning grades with painting or naming activities and adding signage. Trustees and staff said the idea could be coordinated to limit additional staff time; Andy and Trustee Stevens volunteered to help contact principals. Several trustees noted similar programs for snowplows and that the activity could be an opportunity to teach students about public works, street cleanliness and runoff.

No motion was required or taken. Trustees said they would coordinate with school principals and return to the board with a suggested structure if the schools express interest.
