“Hearts Around Hutchinson” is a collaborative service project tied to the Hutchinson Leadership Institute. The project goal is to disseminate decorative hearts around the City of Hutchinson in effort to spread joy, love, and inspire “togetherness” in a time when all of which are needed most.
Students from St. Anastasia contributed to the project by painting dozens of the hearts!
All hearts will be weather-proofed and available for pick-up (free of charge) on May 1st in Library Square in observance of “Kindness Day in Hutchinson.”
This project serves as the capstone requirement for members of the 2020-2021 Hutchinson Leadership Institute cohort; of which, a central requirement involves leveraging local connections and resources because fundraising is not allowed. As such, the project would not have been possible without generous donors; materials were sourced from Stearnswood, labor was donated by the Hutchinson High School and decorative art was provided by St. Anastasia Catholic School, King’s Kids Preschool and various local artists.
