Hutchison Sophomores Reflect on Service Retreat
When our girls come together to serve, amazing things happen. During their service retreat, our 10th graders built strong bonds while making a positive impact across Memphis.
Our 10th graders learned all about the importance of making a difference through service during a recent retreat with the Memphis organization Service Over Self. Hutchison sophomores partnered with 14 local nonprofits and community organizations across the 901. From packing meals and sorting donations to building meaningful connections among their class and with those they served, they gave their all.
“It showed people that even the small things you do have an impact, whether you realize it or not. Even if you’re just packing one box of food, that helps a whole family. If you have people helping you with the small tasks, you can focus more on what’s going to make an even bigger impact,” Malie Youngblood ’28 said.
Service isn’t just about what you give; it’s about who you become in the process. Watch to see how the Class of 2028 made their mark through service and discovered the power of collaboration, compassion, and leadership.
