Students devote part of their day off to serve the community.
Sixty inspired students from Lakewood High School woke with a civic purpose this morning: devote part of their day off school to serve others around Lakewood to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. groups of students dispersed around the city and assisted with lessons and playtime at Lakewood childcare centers, prepared materials for story time at Lakewood Public Library, socialized and played bingo with residents at Crestmont North Nursing Home, made valentines for U.S. soldiers serving overseas at Lakewood Alive, and canvassed 150 houses on the north side of town to collect 300 personal hygiene items for clients of North Coast Health Ministry.
