Middle School
Day of Service
Middle school students and faculty members
set out for their third annual day of service
in April to give back to various communities
across Chicago. Students visited several
locations and participated in activities that
included cleanup and rehab in Chicago parks,
visiting with and assisting senior citizens
in local retirement homes, working with
residents at Misericordia and the New Hope
Center, organizing clothing and other items
for local homeless shelters, and working with
kids at the Gary Comer Youth Center.
The goal behind the day of service is to
help students find causes they can be passionate
about. It urges them to step out of their
comfort zones, and, as Latin���s mission directs,
encourages them to be concerned and
contributing citizens. Students follow up their
service day experience by gathering in groups
to talk through the positive and challenging
aspects of the day.
