Brentwood Elementary School deserves a gold star for its work cleaning up Marsh Creek recently. Brentwood students worked with Brentwood Exchange Club, the city's Stormwater Management Division and the Wake County Department of Environmental Services on Oct. 15 pulling out trash and other debris from the creek as part of Big Sweep, a volunteer effort to clean up rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Good job, Brentwood!
