We have planned various service based activities throughout the year. Together, we strive to educate our students while expanding their hearts by living, experiencing and reflecting on service to others as did Christ our greatest teacher. Each set of prayer partners have been assigned a cause to focus on throughout the year and will run fundraisers or events for various organizations. We may call upon parents of hosting event to lend a helping hand.
