Be sure to share your photos and tag us on social media. 💙 Giving Tuesdays: On April 8th, 15th, and 29th, our Students of Service mentors and mentees will be dedicating time during lunch and study hall to work on meaningful projects to further raise awareness and make a difference. 💙 Blue Pinwheel Garden: Together with our community members, we’ll be displaying blue pinwheels throughout town and on campus as a visual reminder of our commitment to preventing child abuse.
