Praising God Through Serving: Service-Learning Begins

CCHS Students at Crestview

Once again,  the CCHS service learning program has come into effect. This year, however, the class has encountered a few changes.The freshmen will continue serving at Lynwood and Crestview nursing homes. However, Northport Elementary, located in Brooklyn Center has changed their age limit for their volunteers. So instead of the tenth grade class serving for Urban Homeworks, they are all serving at Northport.  When the sophomores first heard about the new changes they were disappointed and questioned if they would have a chance to serve for Urban Homeworks. Anna Smith, a sophomore, says, “I am a little disappointed, but I think we have to make the best of what we have.” The best we can do is wait and see where the 10th graders wind up at for their next trimester. Calvin’s hope is that we leave a mark on wherever God places us, regardless of service-learning location.
