Wallace Rangers strong on Global Youth Service Day

A throng of Wallace Middle School students participated in Youth Service America’s (YSA.org) Global Youth Service Day on April 15. The event is a global initiative with youth doing service projects all over the world. WMS students wore orange for Hunger Awareness on April 15th, and 159 students brought 1,792 food items for the Hays County Food Bank and assisted in their delivery to the food bank after school. Youth Service America’s President and CEO, Steve Culbertson, provided a certificate for all of the participating students. Hays County Food Bank’s Volunteer Service Manager, Holly Hood, was a guest speaker during lunch and she shared that, effective April 15th, Wallace will be a Community Drop Off Site for the HCFB year-round! Wallace students are continuing to bring food items until the end of May and they hope to win the Hays County Food Bank’s Spring Harvest Healthy Food Drive Challenge. (Photo by Dee Niedzielski)
