đ Rake a Difference Day!
Our Lake Shore servant leaders and philanthropists rolled up their sleeves for the districtâs 7th annual Seasonal Cleanup. At Lake Shore, we truly be-leaf in giving back to our community.
Students from Kennedy Middle Schoolâled by Mrs. McGuire, Mr. Warehall, Mrs. Wentworth, Mrs. Clow, Mrs. Shovan, Mrs. Morell, Mrs. Fox, and Mrs. DeSandreâtook to the neighborhood armed with rakes and a whole lot of #PositivityInAction.
Saint Clair Shores residents were thrilled with the studentsâ hard work. One resident even came outside just to express their gratitudeâproof that small acts of kindness can make a big impact.
Eighth grader Christopher Chambe didnât hesitate when the opportunity to help arose. When asked what motivated him, he confidently shared his favorite verse, âI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.â Christopher added that he simply enjoys being kind, and that his dad often takes him around their neighborhood so they can serve others together.
What an outstanding young man â a reflection of the incredible values instilled in him.
Positivity Project co-founder and CEO Jeff Bryan visited Saint Clair Shores in 2022 to pitch in and see how we incorporate #PositivityInAction in our community. He applauded our administration and staff for setting a culture that develops good people. "I enjoy seeing schools modeling the P2 traits in the community. Lake Shore does such a great job and this is an example of that."
Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't need a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.
Huge shoutout to our Kennedy Middle School students for their amazing raking efforts! And an extra round of applause to Bus Drivers Doug, Dave, Kelly, Mary, Colleen, and Don and Transportation Coordinator Val Harvey for getting our Clippers to and from the neighborhoods. Teamwork at its finest!
