HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson High School’s student body will spend a morning in service learning on April 30.
The fourth Salthawk Service Day will be Friday, April 30 from 8 to 11 a.m. The date is an early-release day at HHS for its annual track meet.
The Kansas State Board of Education encourages all students to be involved in service, and the early release day is an opportunity for HHS to get students into the community in an organized event.
According to the state Board of Education, students who volunteer in their communities are more likely to vote, stay actively involved in service and feel empowered as citizens.
The day starts with attendance and instruction with students fanning out across the community to a wide range of projects at 8:10 a.m. Projects range from maintenance and clean-up at several locations in the city to baking cookies for firefighters and police officers, holding a garage sale for United Way and visiting nursing home residents.
