Hidden Valley High School students -- in collaboration with the Josephine County Foundation and Pacific Power -- demonstrated their commitment to community service and spirit during a "Day of Caring" event held earlier this week.
The event was aimed at spreading positivity and fostering community engagement.
There was enthusiastic participation from HVHS students and volunteers from JCF and Pacific Power. Together, they embarked on various initiatives to uplift and enhance not only the Hidden Valley campus but other Three Rivers District schools including Madrona, Fruitdale, Lincoln Savage and Applegate.
Activities during the "HVHS Day of Caring" spanned a wide range, from cleanup efforts to beautification projects. Students rolled up their sleeves to pick up litter, repair and paint sports facilities, plant flowers and spread bark mulch. The event also included refurbishing stadium bleachers and preparing the courtyard for a future fundraiser to support a new Veteran's Memorial.
The success of the HVHS Day of Caring underscores the impactful contributions that youth-led initiatives can make toward creating a culture of collaboration and care within communities.
