Today our Teacher Prep students had the opportunity to volunteer at the All-Star Olympics—and what a day it was!
From painting faces to creating colorful works of art and helping with fun crafts, our students brought energy, creativity, and kindness to every moment. Events like these highlight the true impact of volunteers, who play a vital role in creating meaningful and inclusive experiences for athletes of all abilities .
More than anything, it was a day filled with smiles, laughter, and connections. We are so proud of our students for giving their time, sharing their talents, and making a difference in our community.
