Hundreds of individuals from our community - including many students from H-F High School - made Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day this past Monday a
day on, instead of a
day off. They helped out with a variety of service projects near (organizing a clothing drive for PADS at Flossmoor Community Church; making blankets at Infant Jesus of Prague; collecting crayons at the Village of Flossmoor) and far (cleaning up the forest preserve at Dan Ryan Woods). For example, members of the National Art Honor Society - including President
Ruth McManus (at left) - spent the afternoon painting positive messages at Parker Junior High School in Flossmoor.
Read more about this National Day of Service here...
_____________________________________
On Friday, students in Mr. O'Neill's Sports Marketing classes had the opportunity to learn from Zach Brockman, H-F '01, and currently the general manager of the Modesto Nuts, a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Seattle Mariners. He shared with students his career path, tips for getting started, and the ins and outs of the business side of the national past time. |
