For our service project our group spent the afternoon raking up the tar and old tennis court surface surrounding KMHS's new courts. Rain and high winds worried us; we thought that the tar would be picked up and thrown back on to the new courts. If this would have happened the tar would have ruined our beautiful green courts! As dedicated teammates, we were determined to clean up the mess the workers had left behind. These courts benefit the whole community, and of course the tennis team, making this job very important!

Tar filled five trash barrels completely full.
We decided to do this for our project because as seniors we felt an obligation to maintain what we never had. We want future Laser's to experience home matches and have safe courts to play on. This service project was worth all the time and effort. After years of waiting, the community, and fellow Laser's will have six courts to be proud to call their own! Our small contribution to the courts will impact the community for years to come. Hopefully our efforts, as well as others, will keep our courts clean and safe for anyone to use. Overall our service project went perfectly! We got muddy and sweaty, but it was all worth it when we got to hold our first practice there the next morning. Every time we see the community use the courts it makes these rough jobs so much better! We plan to keep maintaining the courts throughout the rest of our season and for the rest of our year at KMHS. |
