Throughout the week of April 20-24, LM students engaged in acts of service all around Lancaster County! Serving others is a way we follow the example of Jesus and live out our core value of living compassionately.
At school, students have written letters asking potential sponsors (family & friends) to support them as they perform these acts of service. We have already raised over $18,000 through the kindness and care of friends and family who wanted to join in on the generosity.
