The Spring Break tradition takes a brotherly turn as a number of students visiting the area are trading in their swimsuits for a hammer.

Students from San Antonio, South Dakota and and Ohio are in town this week,lending a helping hand to  Habitat for Humanity. For some the choice for an alternative spring break is an annual one.

Josh Hodnichak from Cleveland, Ohio, told Kiii News that their volunteer work has become a tradition, "This is the third year we've done this. Last year we went to South Carolina, and New Orleans the year before that. It's going really well. We're really enjoying it here. Last year we did roofing so we're excited to do something a little bit different-- some framing."

The groups will work through the week before heading back to school.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
