                                US Community Service Day - Thanks!
This year's US Community Service Day on October 12 was blessed with fine weather and great support from our SFS community. Students, faculty and some parents performed many hours of volunteer service in local parks, community centers, shelters, senior centers and feeding programs. Students ended the day with a mini-walk around the turf field raising awareness about homelessness and funds for our partner agencies and their clients. Our thanks to all students who returned their Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Mini-Walk forms. We also thank our wonderful volunteers for providing transportation for the students and faculty.
