Middle and High School is a time ripe with self-expression and self-discovery. Students are searching for identity, purpose, and connection. Those dynamics don't just happen, students need to be guided through experiences, reflection, and conversations to find clarity. Community service is a tremendous opportunity to provide all three, and our guest this week, Leigh Cambra, health teachers, Link Crew teacher and former ASB Director helped students launch This Club Saves Lives, and she's seeing students discovering who they are and what they're made for.
