Community Service

• This year the Social Studies Department
  introduced the idea of community service to our
  students. We hope to make our students into
  givers, not takers. By the time they are adults,
  they will enter society as people who are willing
  and able to give back to their community

Here are some examples

The A-STAR Program

• A-star-Students, such as Dominique Gresham,
  Michelle Anderson, Lakeisha Stephens, Jessica
  Johnson, and Alicia Reid have spent extra time
  after school tutoring younger students.

Helping the Elderly

• Students, such as Amy Turner, Rochelle Robinson,
  Nicole Cade, Shanevia Jackson, and Randal
  Roberson worked at Nursing Homes in the area.
  They read, fed, and visited with the elderly
  providing them with companionship, while learning
  from their experiences.

Caring for Animals

• Students such as, Leslie Cressman, Laura Hall,
  Rachael Callaghan, and William Holaway, did their
  community service by caring for animals. They
  worked at the Animal Shelter, or hosted a petting
  zoo for the children of the community

Mule Day

• Students, such as Sheldon Drinkard, Savalus
  Towns, and Jamie Aaron, helped the Chamber of

  collected tickets, and ran errands to insure that
  visitors enjoyed Mule Day in Washington.
