On Friday, April 29th, middle school students will be participating in a "Day of Service.". Throughout the year, the kids have been investigating four areas: Environment, Literacy, Social Services with a focus on Special Olympics, and Animal Welfare. They researched the various organizations in Chicago that work in these areas, then partnered with several and have been learning about the local issues in these areas. For our Service Day, a group of kids will be helping with the Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies, another group with the Open Books project in Pilsen, another group with habitat restoration in LaBaugh Woods, and the fourth group with the Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation.
By the way, the animal welfare advisory group has just launched a website featuring foster pets that need permanent homes. Please check out their website an post it to your social media.
