Call to Serve

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope every one is well.

One of the hallmarks of our program is Service. We want our students to know the value of community and the fulfillment of helping others. While we have revised the Service Learning Requirement at our school in making it a twelfth grade requirement, opportunities have presented themselves where we can currently help others in need. Last semester we collected approximately 250 pounds of food to help the homeless during Thanksgiving. We are now fortunate to have the opportunity to collect pennies in raising funds for children who have Leukemia or Lymphoma. Lets help these innocents who have met misfortune. Our students who are 16 years or older have an opportunity to help a family build a house through the Habitat for Humanity Organization. I hope every one can participate. Take care
