While most of the projects for the school-wide day of service took place on campus -- painting hospital art, making sandwiches and toiletry kits for the homeless, filling goodie bags for Children's Hospital, landscaping and general spring clean up activities -- several clubs went off campus to take part in their respective initiatives.
21st Century Leaders sorted books for Africa at the organization's warehouse and Future Healthcare students and the Anime Club cooked meals at Ronald McDonald House. Additionally, the North Springs golf team cleaned up the grounds at Steel Canyon golf course while the Mastery Chorus club sang at the Dogwood Forest retirement home.
