Service and Service Learning

  • As part of service learning, art students visited the Cincinnati Museum Center to engage with the Smithsonian exhibit “Girlhood: It’s Complicated.” Student art will reflect what they connected with during their visit to the exhibit.
  • Seniors did a class service project, raking leaves and cleaning up yards as part of People Working Cooperatively Prepare Affair. 

We are in our final week of D.R.I.V.E., which stands for *D*onate, *R*espond, *I*nvest, *V*alue, and *E*ducate. Freshmen and sophomores should donate food items; juniors and seniors should donate personal care items. All donations are due this Friday, Nov. 17. Five wonderful local agencies are depending on us to help this holiday season, so please donate generously!
