Visit the Christian Service Program web page for more information. Be sure to submit your hours through our new app, MobileServe. Please check that they have been verified.
If you have any questions, talk to Mrs. Hopkins, our Director of Christian Service, in Campus Ministry.
Wellness
The new year and new semester is a great time to review and reset! Take the time to take care of yourself. Here are a few wellness ideas:
- Hydrate
- Slow down, take breaks if you need them
- Breathe
- Talk with a friend
- Volunteer/give back
- Write down what you're thankful for in the last year
If you ever need to talk to someone about personal concerns (family, friends, how you're feeling, dealing with stress, etc.) please let your school counselor know. We are here to support you. We also have two Wellness Counselors available every school day.
