CASTLE CHRONICLES - FEBRUARY 26, 2024
SMHS SERVICE STARS IGNITING CHANGE GLOBALLY!
Over winter break, 8 compassionate SMHS students: Leah Dwyer, Breanna Prindle, Eliza Smith, Norra Capron, Ava Miller, Madison Sullivan, Thomas Senior and Cassidy Steel embarked on a transformative journey to the Dominican Republic. Their mission? To collaborate with local schools, aiding students in their English learning journey. They also rolled up their sleeves, revitalizing community gardens and contributing to essential building projects. Through their dedication and service, our students exemplified the SMHS mission of creating positive change worldwide!
We're so proud of our student service volunteers and extend a heartfelt thank you to ELA teacher, MR. SCOTT CHILDRESS for facilitating this incredible opportunity for our students.
