FOX6 News talked with one student who said it is always an exciting time of year.
"Every student gets involved in a service project around the school. They pick something that they're interested in. It's free rein. Anyone gets to decide what they wanna do," said Kasey Ghali, student. "They send out a sign up sheet and it goes crazy for a day – and everyone's racing to get the spot that they want. But it's kind of awesome."
