| Students Making a Difference Overseas |
The Cross Countries story begins in 2004 when a member of the high school boys' cross country team asked his coach if he could make a difference in the world. A team of exceptional young men soon gathered and would go on to raise $46,000.00 by 2006 to fund a service trip to Kenya, Africa. Upon their return, it was thought that the journey was over. How wrong they were. New students rose to the challenge and service teams were created in both 2009 and 2012. These groups traveled to Bolivia to aid in hospital construction by installing lighting, building a front entrance way, and cleaning out a water reservoir just to name a few projects. The current team has been working very hard to further the cause established by their predecessors. The Cross Countries organization has raised more than $200,000.00 over the past decade to provide students with the opportunity to make a difference overseas. The group's mission... to promote volunteerism, cultural awareness, and global responsibility.
Student members of Cross Countries include: Nick Minnella, Kamila Zaremba, Enrique Miranda, Sergio Serna, Jake Kupres, Omar Abdelrahman, Luis Garcia, Mitchell Gonsch, Tomasz Parzadka, Miles O'Brien, and Maumean Elamin.
