First Responders Card
  & Letter Writing Campaign   
In the wake of recent horrific, devastating hurricanes, we find ourselves wondering how we can help. What can we do? There were so many stories of people helping people. Join us in our campaign of acknowledging first responders.  In many cases, putting their own lives in danger to help others.

Become a Teen Ambassador    
Our Ambassadors Club had a very successful first meeting in September.  We would love for you to join us for future meetings!
 
The club is open to students grades 6 - 12 and meets once a month.  This is a great opportunity for students who need service hours for religious affiliation, honor society, school projects or just because.  It's a great way to meet youth from other schools and share ideas. 

Come check it out!  Bring a friend!  Click
here to send us questions or to sign up for the club today!
