Thank You!

Hi Everyone!

You all are wonderful students!  I am truly impressed by your enthusiasm this year and it's only the beginning!  

A huge thank you goes out to those of you who came out and walked in the Making Strides For Breast Cancer walk last month!  Thank you to the parents who walked with us as well!  It was a wonderful occasion!  Check out the pictures below! 




 Another huge thanks goes out to those of you who volunteered with the residents at The Clarity Pointe Assisted Living last Wednesday!  The residents truly enjoyed you spending time with them.
There are many more opportunities to come throughout the year.  In the meantime, please check out what's coming up for ACHS this month.  If you are planning on attending the Alzheimer's walk this Saturday, please let me know by Friday, November 18th.
Talk to you all soon!
