Last week, Legacy High School students participated in a community service activity with the non-profit organization, Met Council. The students had the opportunity to create Valentine's Day decorations for Met Council's annual Valentine's Day senior citizen dinner. The students had a wonderful time participating. Here are what some students had to say:
"I think helping others is so important. It is inspiring how some organizations can provide for people in unfortunate positions the help that they need. I appreciate the opportunity I had to provide designs and decorations for the senior citizen dinner." - High School Student
"It's always good to help those in need. I am grateful for letting Met Council give me that opportunity." - High School Student
