MHS Youth Service Students Share Kindness Through Annual Service Project

Students in Monticello High School’s Youth Service class recently participated in their annual service-learning project focused on compassion, empathy, and community impact.

As part of the project, students first explored the Science of Kindness, learning how acts of kindness positively affect both individuals and communities. They then applied this learning in a meaningful way by creating fleece tie blankets to donate to the Monticello Cancer Center for patients currently receiving medical care.

This year marks the fourth consecutive year MHS Youth Service students have completed this project. Through their hands-on efforts, students not only developed teamwork and service skills, but also experienced the powerful connection between learning and giving back.

The donated blankets will provide comfort and encouragement to patients during a challenging time, serving as a tangible reminder that their community is thinking of them.
