You Have the Power through Service

Many of our service projects have evolved over the years to include local charities and our community. Some have been connected to our school families and our students. We supported an organization for grieving kids, food banks, and our school created awareness for hunger and cold feet. When you give service, the most important component is, “Why are we doing it?” We are not just completing a goal but we are making people conscious of the world around them.

      This year we connected with #skateforchange to generate awareness for the Rescue Mission. We kicked off our service project with a skateboard ride through town. The students even challenged me to learn to skateboard, so I did. Significantly, the students knew why we were skating- to change perception and raise the quality of life.  

The nonprofit #skateforchange was started by Mike Smith to connect with homeless people in towns throughout our country. One goal is to change perception while supporting people on the street until they can self-support. We collected over 5,000 items.
