Before Sacred Heart High School teacher Jeanne Fetsch retires at the end of the school year, she wants to help her students make an impact. That’s why she decided to revive the school’s UROCK group, which is dedicated to doing many different things in the school and the community to make an impact in people’s lives.
The group’s name stands for “You reaching out to create kindness,” and the goal of the group is to do a wide range of projects to help people in different ways. The group performs at nursing home, puts together Christmas hampers, hangs positive posters through the school, and does a wide variety of things to help people.
“Anything that fits in to helping and service, we are going to see if we can do it.”
While she’s resurrecting the club, it’s really a student-driven effort. She said that many of the ideas for activities are coming from the students in the group, and the ideas are coming fast from the students.
“There are 35-40 kids who are so excited to do things. One kid said to me “can we go Christmas caroling to raise money?” They are coming up with so many ideas to do things.”
The past month has been busy with the group brainstorming things they can do to help people in and around town.
“They’re excited and I’m excited.”
