GET IN THE GAME. Senior Makayla Stover plays kickball with E. H. Greene students for Senior Service Day. The second annual Senior Service Day took place on Oct. 17, sending students out across the community instead of going to class for a day. Stover was signed up to help at the Boys and Girls Club of West Chester, but the club was closed. That group of volunteers went to Greene to spend time with younger kids during recess instead.

SIGN ME UP. Seniors Max Snyder, Charles Harte, and Benjamin Schwartz make signs for the Flight Fest. Volunteers at Sycamore Junior High stuffed bags for Flight Fest runners and made signs for the festival’s events. “I thought it was a good use of time because it allowed us to give back to the community that’s supported us. It was definitely fun since we had a lot of options on where we could go, as well as the freedom to sign up with friends,” said Michael Xiang, 12. Photo courtesy of Adhiti Chundur.

LOAD UP. Senior Megan McMullen carries supplies at Matthew 25 Ministries. “We sorted through boxes of clothes, linens, and miscellaneous items to package up and send to people in need. I enjoyed the opportunity to be able to help people in need. The items we sorted today are going directly to people that were affected by the hurricanes,” McMullen said.

DIG IN. Seniors at Gorman Heritage Farm work to refurbish the orchard. “We did a lot of manual labor digging one foot deep by two feet wide trenches. Although it was pretty exhausting, I was told that the trenches we dig (which were for irrigation for trees they are planting next week) are going to remain there for 20 or 30 years. It’s pretty cool that we made a lasting impact today we can come back and see in the future,” said Stephanie Hong, 12. Photo courtesy of Emma Sulfsted.

TREE-MENDOUS WORK. Senior Luke Tenbarge clears out branches at Summit Park. “We were cutting down some honeysuckle because it’s invasive, making room for some local plants. I thought it was cool at the end to see how much land we had cleared out for new wildlife,” Tenbarge said. Photo courtesy of Emma Sulfsted.
