Mark your calendar for the 3rd Annual Family Service Night!

Thursday April 23rd from 5-7pm
 Intermediate School Gym

Family Service Night will be held in conjunction with Empty Bowls. 
Two great community events that you can support in one evening!

This event is organized to introduce our students and their families to community organizations and provide opportunities to volunteer and get involved in helping others. Various local organizations will be setup in the gym where parents and students will work together to complete a service project, learn about the organization and discover how your family can stay involved with the organization after the event. 

Activities are suitable for students of all ages!

This year’s organizations will include The Family Partnership, Haven Homes, Helping Paws, The Ronald
McDonald House, Wags and Whiskers, The IOCP, WeCAN, Pinky Swear Foundation, Long Lake Fire
Department, Westside Communities in Action, LLS Pennies for Patients and More!  

Come to learn more about local non-profit organizations and how your family can help make a difference in our community.
 

Start collecting your spare change now to bring and support LLS Pennies for Patients.
