Description
While dropping my son off at school this morning I noticed quite a few piles of dig waste on the school property. This was an ongoing issue last year. I'm concerned that kids running and playing will step in these piles. I can't believe a dog owner in that area would bring their dog to do its business on the school property and not clean up after their dog. Shame on them. Maybe the neighbors of Robin Hood School could keep an eye out.

If the Selectmen cared about our children they would have introduced a similar article.
