Roxie, our secretary, received a phone call today from a lady in town, asking if we could send some students to her neighbor's house sometime today. There are branches left over from the past weekend’s storm and she is concerned that her elderly neighbor won't be able to pick them up. So she called us. 

And now, we are sending our 9th and 10th graders during 8th period today.

Think about what that means. Someone in our community saw a need, wanted to help, then stepped out and did so, by calling OUR SCHOOL!!! They felt the best place to call for help was us! How cool is that?!?!?

By our community, we are seen as a place that will help, that will use its resources (which is often just many hands), and will get things done!!! We are recognized by our service, which in turn, provides us more opportunities to serve!

And I just love that.
