"Boxes were shipped out to sailors and Marines serving on the USS America currently deployed in the Indian Ocean. Our Social Actions Committee is comprised of students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and run several fundraisers, tag days, and collections to help those in need. In this case the students helped by supporting our troops both past and present. Thank you, veterans."
