Ready, Set, PAINT!

Get ready to paint the town with the Main-iacs on Main! We’re excited to announce a vibrant community project where our incredible 2024-25 student volunteer team will be repainting the crosswalks in the Kelly Poling Arts District. Painting will be done Sunday, August 25th, from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. To ensure the safety of our volunteers, Locust Street will be closed from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. They have already completed the crosswalk at Locust and Clay Street, go check it out!

This project is more than just a painting session—it’s a chance to come together as a community and support our Main-iacs on Main. These dedicated student volunteers are not only helping to beautify our neighborhood but also strengthening the bonds within our community

Following our painting session on August 25th, we are excited to invite you to the Main-iacs on Main Induction Party, celebrating our 2024-25 CHS student volunteers. This special event will take place from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, right after the crosswalk painting. Join us for a casual evening of introductions, music, snacks, drinks, and networking as we celebrate these young individuals. Your presence will mean the world to us and our young volunteers as we come together to make these students feel truly valued and integral to our community.

We encourage everyone to come out, lend a hand, and make this event a memorable and inspiring experience for all involved. Let's paint the town together and show our youth volunteers the appreciation they deserve!
