Service makes a difference

The year is coming to an end! All students' last day of service is this Friday. Students shared memories and things they've learned at their service sites during team this morning.

"Service may be over on June 3, but that does not mean girls can wear short-shorts! Please keep those short shorts for the weekend," said Ms. O'Neill.
