Our 7–12th grade advisory students put their words into action by heading out into our local neighborhoods to help make a difference. Together, they collected nearly 100 pounds of trash—showing what teamwork and community pride can accomplish!
We’re proud of our students for taking initiative and helping keep our community clean and beautiful. Every small effort adds up to a big impact! 💚🌱
