Word from a Parent:
ÒI heard that the middle and high school students were volunteering in PE and after-school classes of elementary schools, helping in any way needed. My son joined the group awhile ago as a volunteer and started helping the elementary kids in swimming class and has had a really positive experience. Knowledge from experience can be more valuable than knowledge from a book.Ó
