Mount Pulaski High School students and staff had the opportunity to participate in a "Day of Service" on Friday, April 24, 2026.
The students and staff fanned out in Mt. Pulaski, Elkhart, and Lincoln. In Mt. Pulaski, students cleaned up the Park District parks, helped organize books at the Public Library, helped at the Courthouse, helped with the landscaping at Vonderlieth Living Center, mulched and weeded at the High School, moved furniture, and cleaned up at Frazier Park. In Elkhart, students helped with maintenance of the butterfly garden, weeding and landscaping at the public library, and cleaning up the memorial downtown. In Lincoln, students cleaned up around the ALMH wellness trail, the Elk's Club, helped with various tasks at the Humane Society, planted flowers for the Lincoln Park District and cleaned up Memorial Park, helped with cleaning the sanctuary of Lincoln Christian Church, and removed technology and cleaned up the lawn at the Logan County Courthouse. Additionally, students prepared and distributed bags throughout Mount Pulaski and Elkhart for the annual FFA Food Drive.
The day was an amazing opportunity for students and staff to reach beyond themselves and help others. The day was organized by the following staff members who served on the planning committee: Mr. Allen, Ms. Bowers, Mrs. Clark, Ms. Kretzinger, Mr. Erlenbush, Mrs. Matheny, Mrs. Mercer, Mrs. Selinger, and Ms. Wubben. Special thanks to all of the community members for allowing our students to help out at all of these locations. If you have a service need in the local area that you would like to have considered for our Day of Service next spring, we would love to help you out! Please send your request to the principal, Heather Fricke, at hfricke@mp23schools.com.
