Service Day

New Athens CUSD #60

October 21, 2026

  On October 8th, New Athen's High School students donated their time to helping clean and beautify the school and community. Some students painted hydrants, picked up trash, and cleared debris from the streets, parks, and cemetery. Other students helped out at St. Agatha's and the school. They painted a classroom, revamped a teacher's lounge, and cleared out a storage shed.

  All the students had fun and can't wait to help the community again next year.
