“Community in action! Today, Mrs. Drmacich's students teamed up with Partnership for Parks for a day of service, raking leaves and beautifying our local green spaces. This hands-on work not only gives back to our neighborhood but also helps students earn hours toward the Seal of Civic Readiness—a prestigious new accolade on their high school diploma that recognizes their commitment to civic engagement. Proud to see our students making a real impact! #CivicReadiness #CommunityService #PartnershipForParks #FutureLeaders”
