Our 8th graders spent the day serving at the Elizabeth Jones Library, welcoming 44 senior citizens from our local nursing homes and library patrons for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and community. Students helped run the bingo games, served snacks and drinks, and even brought door prizes to make the day extra special. The room was filled with laughter, conversation, and genuine connection as our students and seniors enjoyed each other’s company. It was a beautiful reminder of the impact small acts of service can have. We’re so proud of our students for leading with kindness with this mission project!
