The Mena High School Pathway Club spent this past Saturday working towards beautifying our community by picking up roadway trash all around neighborhoods close to the high school. The Pathway Club was awarded a state grant that was written by our Behavioral Interventionist, Shanda Craig, and focuses on community service projects that beautify our community. These 9th grade students will work throughout their high school career on different ways to beautify our community. Students are also creating a video to highlight all the work and planning they have completed this school year. Club members are Waylon Yoakem, Adelhei Look, Avery Montgomery, Zoe Adams, Jonas Hernandez, Daeton Miller, and Braydon Wright.
