The TPS Middle School 180 class took a journey out into the community for a very special service project!
Inspired by their reading of Touching Spirit Bear, our students wanted to channel the themes of healing and connection into action. The class worked hard to hand-make cozy blankets and traveled to the Nicholasville Animal Shelter to volunteer their time and deliver the gifts to some furry friends in need.
Thank you, staff and students, for being a great reflection of our Discovery values in the community!
