On Wednesday, April 23, every student in the school was involved in separate grade level activities.

For the first year, freshmen volunteered for service projects, while sophomores attended an in-school career fair, juniors took the ACT and seniors went to the zoo.

The freshman class were divided into groups and placed into sessions where they worked on a service project that benefits local organizations in the community. One of these projects, for example, was making tied fleece blankets.

“The freshmen did a great job, and put a lot of effort into each session they attended,” Associate Principal Mandy Lewis said.

While the underclassman were hard at work, seniors took a laid-back field trip to the St. Louis Zoo where they were able to look at all the animals, pet the sting rays and visit the petting zoo.
