This high school student is helping out to better her community

NEWARK — It’s early Saturday morning and 16-year-old Asada Rashidi looks down Bergen Street and smiles.

There’s no more cigarette butts, soda cans or broken glass scattered on the sidewalk. She grips her small broom with her purple gloves and moves on, past the bus stop and mini market to continue sweeping her neighborhood.
