Hinks Elementary’s “Operation: Rock It” Project

ALPENA, Mich. — Hinks Elementary School is looking for some volunteers to help with their “Operation: Rock It” project. The rocks in their garden in front of the building have begun to fade, and the school is hoping the public can help create new ones.

The older rocks will be placed in a pile so that people can go pick them up and repaint them a fresher look. Volunteers are also welcome to use rocks that they find at their own home. The designs could show family, love for Hinks, or something that represents your family or the school. Newly painted rocks can be dropped off anywhere in the front garden.

In addition, Hinks is looking to honor their 5th grade class with a larger rock that people could go and add to. They’re asking if there are any parents out there that might have access to one.
