Davis County High School students helped with yard work and general upkeep at approximately 50 different locations for Mustang Pride Day held on April 10.
According to DCHS Secretary Ashley Kaleponi, Mustang Pride Day is “a day dedicated to students giving back to their community.”
Students in grades nine through 12 participate. They do tasks such as raking leaves, picking up sticks, power washing, and painting. This year some of the locations they worked at were Davis County Fairgrounds and Sports Complex, Floris and Pulaski parks, several churches, and many personal residences.
“There were 10-12 kids dropped off. They had their own rakes and trash bags and everything,” said resident Bobbie McClure, “It’s Mustang pride for them, but DC pride for all of us! We need to say thank you to our schools for what they’re doing. I’m so proud of these young people and so thankful we live in Davis County.”
Kaleponi said the Student Council helped make flyers and mailers to be distributed into the community. The school also advertised on social media to let folks know when and how to sign up. Student Council also organized the students into the groups that would work at each location.
“Mustang Pride Day is great because it puts the students out into the community to offer services to businesses and residents that are not able to get out to do these tasks on their own,” said Kaleponi, “It lets the students interact with community members in a way that they do not normally get to.”
