Henry-Senachwine High School's annual "Hope Week" was held January 29th through February 2nd, concluding with a home basketball game entitled, "Hoops For Homes". Organized and led by HSHS students MacKenzie Hartwig and Jackson Knisley, various fundraisers were held throughout the school week in order to raise money to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois.
