A DAY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE

---

TODAY OUR BRIDGE TO SUCCESS SCHOLARS SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY PARTICIPATING IN A COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT. WE WERE GREETED BY THE DIRECTORS OF THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT de PAUL EARLY THIS MORNING. THE GROUP WAS DIVIDED INTO SUB-GROUPS AND PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS PROJECTS, WHICH INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ADDRESSING INVITATIONS, SORTING CLOTHES, LABELING FOOD DONATIONS, SHREDDING PAPERS, PREPARING BACK PACKS FOR CHILDREN, AND UNLOADING TRUCKS. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE DAY! IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT BUT WE KEPT OUR FOCUS, AND DID OUR PART TO FIGHT POVERTY IN THE ATLANTA AREA. BEFORE WE DEPARTED THE CENTER, MR. JIM VELLECHIA, THE DIRECTOR, MADE THE FOLLOWING COMMENT REGARDING OUR STUDENTS, "THE STUDENTS FROM COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL ARE AN INSPIRATION!"

TONIGHT WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO DOWNTOWN ATLANTA FOR DINNER!

TO BE CONTINUED!
