Community Service Project Day

This past Wednesday all of the 7th through 12th grade students were out in different communities helping out. The junior high students went to Central Detroit Christian where they were busy breaking up cement, lifting heavy boxes and bricks, and painting. The freshmen went to Grace Centers of Hope where they helped to prepare and serve lunch. The sophomores stayed in Warren cleaning up Martin Road and the school property. The juniors went to God's Helping Hand in Rochester Hills where they were busy sorting through clothes that had been donated. The seniors helped Habitat for Humanity as they are preparing their new warehouse.

Throughout the day, I went around to all of the various sites. I was so excited to see our students helping others. It was incredible to see how much fun our students were having. I had one student tell me that they want to do it again in the spring. God blessed us with a beautiful day especially for the students who spent most of the day outside. I was so proud of our students for being willing to help out and do whatever was needed. As I stopped by the places, I had many people tell me how much help our students had been. A big THANK YOU to all of you who helped drive and chaperone the students.
