Painting a wall of a house, sophomore Jacquelyn Collette is helping her resident redo her house. She and a group of students from other states reconstructed and painted many walls to help her. “My favorite part about mission trips is getting to meet and interact with people that you may not have gotten to know,” Colette said. “I was on a crew with three people from Illinois, one from North Carolina, and one from Canada. It is so cool to see how different you are but you still have so many things in common. I still talk to the people from my trip and think it is amazing how strong of a connection we formed in one week.”

Junior Zachary Neesen and volunteers work to paint the room numbers used during fire drills on the sidewalks outside of Millard West high school. “On the day of the project, I assigned areas for the volunteers and gave them the needed supplies,” Neesen said. “Then during the project, I checked in with my volunteers repeatedly and offered any help I could.”

Freshman Erica Napierala hangs her birdhouse creation in a local park. After painting all day Napierala headed to the park to put up her hand-painted homes for feathered friends to perch on. “Some of the houses have patterns and others have themes,” Napierala said. “We are hoping that our colorful birdhouses can make people’s walks more enjoyable.”

Junior Delaney Aikins’s painting titled “Barney” earned a Gold Key. Because of this, the piece will be entered into a competition in New York City. “For the portrait we were supposed to use acrylic paints and then I went to Hobby Lobby and got gold foil,” Aikins said. “I wanted to mess with the foil and that’s where the latter in her shawl came from.”
