For spring break, ninth grade students from Murrieta Springs Academy spent their week volunteering at projects in San Diego County, and did two great projects with North County Community Services! On Monday, April 11th, they volunteered at North County's Food Bank for over two hours and helped with all of the daily operations, including unloading, sorting, and packing food. They were a great group of enthusiastic, energetic volunteers, eager to accomplish goals and learn as they worked. They even came with their own photographer, who took some great pictures!
On Thursday, April 14th they spent the afternoon at the Gardens at River Road. There, they helped weed, and harvest ripe veggies. In all, they harvested about 30 lbs of kale, lettuce, chard, and peas that we
nt to North County's Food Bank to be distributed to those in need.
Thank you Murrieta Springs Academy! I hope to see you again next spring break!
