Our 8th grade students recently completed a meaningful service project for the Monroe County Boys & Girls Club summer programs! Students decorated and filled bags with snacks to help support local children this summer.

This project was led by Ada Johnson and Coltin Simpson, whose leadership and hard work helped make the event a success. We are proud of our students for giving back to the community and showing kindness through service! ☀️
