Community Service Day
Raking leaves, pulling weeds, on their hands and knees, students worked vigorously on Sunday, October 17, for Community Service Day. Several groups of students and faculty members went out into the Hutchinson community doing outreach projects. Students picked up sticks, pulled weeds, raked and cleaned up Veterans Memorial Park, Firemans Park, Park Elementary, Central School District Office, South Park, and peoples homes around town.
The students worked hard and really made an impact on the community. After the mountains of leaves were bagged, gardens were cleared of weeds, and monuments were polished, the town of Hutchinson shined a little bit brighter!

The Maplewood Academy Huskies volleyball team headed to the Union College Tournament on Oct, 20th. Once the girls got to Lincoln they had two games on Thursday vs. Campion and Collegedale and two games on Friday vs. Dakota and Mile High. The ladies didnt necessarily have a winning streak, but for being such a young team this year (only two seniors) they did an excellent job keeping up and played very well. All the coaches and parents were very proud. From Maplewood the 1st team award went to Lindsey Parsons, and the 2nd team awards were given to Bailey Dehning and Rachel Lozano.

College Preview Days
College Preview Days took place on October 7-10. Twenty-two seniors climbed onto the yellow school bus at 5:30 am on a frosty Thursday morning. The trip, though only 7 hours, seemed like days. Finally arriving on Unions campus, everyone jumped off the bus into a whirlwind of activities. Previewers went to various classes to see what college life could be like. Dr. Lynn, head of the voice and choir division, invited students to sing with the Unionaires at their practice time. After lunch, students were taken on a tour of Lincoln. Buses loaded and unloaded at several different locations in the city. One of the stops was at the state capitol building. People were allowed to go to the 14th floor of the building and it was an amazing sight from up there. So many places to see, but it was time for the tour to come to an end. Students were surprised with a meal at "HuHot" one Lincolns favorite Mongolian Grills. On Sabbath, students were able to attend the Colleges worship services and a potluck at Holmes Lake. That evening, there was laughter and excitement at the bowling alley. Before long, Sunday morning came and students packed their bags and waved a farewell to Lincoln, NE.
