Student washing a car on Green & Gold Day

Mattoon CUSD #2 students will participate in the district’s annual Green and Gold Day of Service on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. This year, MHS families, alumni, and community members are also invited to join students in giving back to the community.

Ideas for ways to participate include:

  • Partnering with an employer on a service project

  • Picking up litter or helping with yard work

  • Donating items to a local food pantry

  • Writing cards for first responders

Everyone is encouraged to find a way to serve and make a collective impact. Participants can also share photos of their service projects and tag Mattoon CUSD #2 on social media. For additional details about Green & Gold Day, visit the 2026 Homecoming page here.
