| Be Involved . . . Education is a team effort. Children, youth, young adults, and adults are always learning. Education doesn't begin with the morning bell and end with the afternoon dismissal, nor take the summer off. Education happens 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. Check with your local school to see how your time and talents can benefit students today. |
