Minerva High School Seniors Give Back During Fall Service Day
Approximately 60 seniors from Minerva High School’s Class of 2026 traded their classrooms for yards and rakes this Friday, November 7th, for the school's Senior Service Day.
Joined by Minerva Local staff and administration, the students dedicated their morning to assisting retired residents throughout the community with fall yard clean-up.
Student teams visited local homes to tackle a variety of yard services. Students helped with raking and bagging leaves, pulling weeds, and cleaning out flower and mulch beds to assist residents in preparing their properties for the upcoming winter. Students also assisted with other odd jobs as needed, offering a helping hand in any way possible.
The event was organized by Minerva High School Assistant Principal Tim Wolf, who coordinated the student volunteers and matched them with homes in the community.
Mr. Wolf shared his pride in the senior class and their enthusiastic participation.
"The Minerva High School Class of 2026 is very strong," Wolf said. "They have demonstrated great leadership, school spirit, and community pride. I am very proud of them!"
The annual event serves as a hands-on lesson in community service, fostering connections between the students and the residents they help, and reinforcing the school's commitment to giving back to the Minerva community. Go Lions!
