PGA Golf Professionals Steve Hutton & Troy Christenson visited Mrs. Edkin's MHS PE Recreational Activities course, giving students an opportunity to learn from & practice with golf pros in the area. The Iowa PGA Swings with Kids program is sponsored by the charitable Iowa PGA Foundation. The foundation has donated $8,900 dollars worth of equipment to schools in Muscatine County, including every elementary, middle, and high school in MCSD.
EAST CAMPUS
Each fall, East Campus students go around the neighborhood volunteering to rake leaves for their neighbors. If neighbors, can and want to, they can donate canned goods to give to the Food Pantry. Recently, staff at East Campus received this kind note about their service project: "Yesterday a group of students was out in the area collecting food, and raking yards, this is not a complaint, but a Huge Thank You. You see I’m not able to get to do much because of a disability and my husband works long hours, so raking the yard was a huge help and a big surprise, and I wish I could have contributed more to the food drive and I will make sure to have more on hand for a future collection. To the Staff that escorted them what a great Idea showing young adults about community pride and how such a gesture will mold our youths of today."
