Hello Advocacy Families!

As we continue to focus on student’s strengths this quarter, students will be identifying their strengths and how they can use their strengths to help our service-learning projects be successful. For our service-learning projects, 7^th and 8^th grade students will have different projects they will be participating in.

• 7^th Grade: Supporting Bee Populations by planting a pollinator garden and teaching other classes about bees.
• 8^th Grade: Supporting Veterans Communities through education and direct action.

If you are a person with experience with bees or a veteran or work for a veteran’s service, we would love to have you share your knowledge and expertise. If you are interested, you can contact your student’s Advocacy teacher.
