The East Juniata team was partnered with Sonbeam Early Learning Center and Trinity Lutheran Church in McAlisterville, where students worked together to complete a variety of service projects. Throughout the day, students assisted with mulching, weeding, pressure washing, and sanitizing toys and equipment.
The United Way Day of Caring is designed to connect volunteers directly with area organizations while raising awareness of community needs and the services local organizations provide. For East Juniata students, the experience offered an opportunity to see firsthand the impact of community service while working alongside their peers outside of the classroom.
The day provided students with a meaningful opportunity to put service into action and make a positive contribution to their community. East Juniata is proud of the students who represented the school through their hard work, teamwork, and commitment to helping others.
