🍁Cultivating Compassion!
While we hosted sophomore tours, some of our incredible students took a break from remote learning for a meaningful cause - fall cleanup at the Veterans Healing Garden at the V.A. Medical Center! 🏡🍂
Their dedication to community service is truly inspiring, as they worked diligently to maintain and beautify this special space for our veterans. 🇺🇸💚 These snapshots capture the spirit of teamwork and service that defines our school community.
A huge shoutout to these students for embracing the opportunity to make a positive impact. 🌱🌟
Together, we're not just building a garden; we're cultivating compassion and honoring those who've sacrificed so much for our freedom.
