A Day of Caring has provided the
opportunity to work with other high

Huron County high school students
to spend May 27 doing something in
their community”.
The students are planning to plant
trees, clean the neighborhood, read
to the elderly, work with United Way
agencies and plan other activities to
equal up to 10 volunteer hours. To
celebrate the end of their work day,
they will be having a barbecue.

skeptics that the youth in this com

out in their community,” said
Latimer.
