Discovery Middle students in Alexandria have been on a mission.
Wearing bright blue shirts, more than 350 eighth-grade students fanned across Douglas County, doing good deeds for others by cleaning up lawns, raking, washing windows, tidying up gardens, doing landscaping work and completing painting projects.
