🌟COMMUNITY SERVICE
All 2nd graders need to complete 6-8 hours of community service. Think about great ways to serve the community in which you live or go to school. Community service is a great way to make a positive difference. This project is due at the end of April. We just wanted to let you know now, so you don't pass up any community service opportunities that may arise.
Have you been working on your Community Service Project? If you have already started your community service hours and you'd like to share with our school and be a "Leader Spotlight" at the next Roar Rally, please let me know! We'd love to see what you've been working on!
