HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson High School students and staff will be giving back to the community at the 6th annual Salthawk Service Day on Friday, April 29.
Salthawk Service Day is an event focused on giving students and staff the opportunity to volunteer in the community. Students will work as collaborative groups on service projects with local community organizations to foster collaboration, relationships and teamwork. While a list of pre-selected service projects was provided to classes, students had the opportunity to coordinate their own projects with staff.
“The purpose of Salthawk Service Day is to encourage students to get involved. We want to give students a heightened sense of purpose for self, school and community,” HHS principal Ryan Ewy said. “We look forward to this event each year, and are excited to see this impact this has on our community,” Ewy said.
Some groups will remain at Hutchinson High School for their volunteer projects, completing tasks such as creating veteran care packages, cleaning up flower beds, and painting murals. Other groups will volunteer throughout the community at organizations such as the Hutchinson Zoo, the Hutchinson Animal Shelter, the Cosmosphere, and the Hutchinson Public Library.
