Lending a helping hand...

Hey Saints, Are you looking for community service hours? Drop into room 208 any Wednesday from 2pm - 3pm! The Bennies Helping Hands club has open membership - come when you can, and don't worry when you can't make it. Over the next two weeks, they will be working on the cot-making project using milk bags! Each hour you volunteer with this club counts toward your 40 hour grad requirement. See you Wednesday after school in 208!

Hey Bennies – we hope you’re able to enjoy the sunshine outside and get a chance to relax amid all the stresses of life. Whatever you're going through, remember that your library is always here to help!
|

What kind of programs or special events would you like to see? Let us know by filling out this form. Help us create a better library by telling us about your experience today!
|
Interested in volunteering?
Do you need your 40 hours? Do you want to contribute to your community? Do you want experience working with children, or in a community service organization?
