National Youth Service Day
Description
National Youth Service Day is a nation-wide annual event held in mid- to late April.
McCat members, the McKendree football team, and Lebanon grade school students all
get together at the Lebanon Grade School and do a large variety of separate service
activities in the area (could be at nursing homes, parks, churches, schools, etc.). After
the services are performed, we all come together to eat pizza at the school.
What's the point of that?
This event helps the youth in the Lebanon community to get involved in service activities. Some
events that have been accomplished on NYSD in the past have been picking up trash
around Lebanon, cleaning the parks, painting, planting flowers at nursing homes, visiting
with nursing home residents, mulching the gardens at Lebanon Grade School, etc.
