Ellis High School will have its fifth-annual Community Service Day on Monday, Oct. 2.

Students and staff will do general cleaning and maintenance projects around the community. The school is doing this in conjunction with the Ellis City Wide Clean-Up scheduled for Oct. 4.

The school would like to help the elderly of the community and those who are unable to perform general cleaning and maintenance activities. The school would also be willing to help nonprofit organizations with the same services.

There will be no charge for the services. All grades at the high school will participate.

If you would like the students to help you, call  EHS Principal Corey Burton at the high school at 785-726-3151 or Leonard Schoenberger at 785-726-1278. Please call by at least Friday, Sept. 29 so the school can organize its resources.

“We want to give back to the community,” Burton said. “We are always asking the community to support this or that. This is a way we can give back to the community.”
