Summer Service Opportunities!

Get involved in your community this summer! With all of these events, you will need to make the connection yourself. Call, email, or sign up online and then show up to serve! Get a Community Service form filled out and turn it into Mrs. Thrash at school in August and she will record these KEY CLUB hours! Yes, non-members, friends from other schools, and rising 9th graders are welcome! Thanks, and have a safe summer!
