Serving the Community...

What Are You Teaching?

Several students signed up for the White Rock Shoreline Spruce Up, sponsored by the For

the Love of the Lake organization. Students reported between 8 and 9 a.m., enjoyed some breakfast, then walked to the lake to clean up the shoreline for two hours. After

two hours, the FTLOTL provided a pizza lunch! All students enjoyed themselves and got to take part in giving back to the community. Pictures will be posted on our website.

We wish much luck to Arianna Selmon, club president, Kaela Harris, SaeCzon Heath-Stewart, Talia Castro, and Jamarcus Hanspard.
