AKRON SCHOOL COMMUNITY PRIDE
Prior to Christmas break, our high school staff and students participated in their second community pride project this school year. Students read and interacted with children at ABC Preschool and Akron Head Start, delivered meals with the Meals on Wheels program, and put together a soup lunch and bingo for the seniors and elders of our community. It was great to see our students interacting with the young children and elders of our community. We give a special thank you to our Dean of Students, Mr. Shawn Randel who put a great deal of work and effort into organizing this event. It truly was a wonderful day and we want to send out a big thank you to everyone who helped today!
