Three members of the Hays High School National Honor Society (l-r) junior Madilynn Thomason, senior Essence Bryant and junior Shelby Nester – showed up toting a huge haul of over 1,000 children’s books for Hornet classrooms at Tom Green Elementary. Hays NHS Sponsor Melinda Earp explains her group recently began creating community service projects that best suit her members’ interests, each member identifying a community need, developing a plan of action and implementing it. Thomason’s mom advised the girls on how much teachers spend on their own classrooms and, in an effort to promote local literacy, they decided to help teachers build their classroom libraries. Hornet Principal Cynthia Vasquez expressed gratitude for the Hays High School NHS donation and recommended her teachers share hugs with Esssence, Madilynn, and Shelby before they left.
