Wishing everyone a fun and safe summer!
Amazing Opportunity for kids!!
Some more highlights from this year's Day of Caring submitted by Alli Kelly
Day of Caring this year went very well. It brought people together and helped make good things happen in the community. Everyone felt proud of what they did and learned how important it is to help each other out. The event showed lots of nice things people did for each other, like raking leaves, cleaning windows and gardens, and cutting branches. People did different activities that made the world a better place by being kind and doing good things. Overall, Day of Caring showed how powerful it is when we all come together to help and support each other, making our community more collaborative and kind. We then ended the day playing a staff vs. student softball game. And kids also participated in yard games, face painting, sidewalk chalk contests, and many different board games.
