Service Learning

At the beginning of the year, the students discussed and then voted on the service they wanted to contribute to the community. They had to call the two places they picked: Orangevale Parks and Recreation in assisting at Almond Park, and the Almond Residence Home across the street. Since then the students have engaged in many activities with both places. At Almond Park, they painted the fence, planted trees, and weeded. At the Residence Home, they played card games, entertained and conversed with the residents, listening to and sharing life stories and interests. The students have learned much and feel as a vital part to their community.
