  KGBDayKORE Gives Back Day
High School I at the Salvation Army.
            
On May 6, KORE Academy students, teachers and parents fanned out across Fayette County, participating in community service projects. In addition to helping the students learn something about their community, the projects brought the classes closer together. 
 
"It made us closer as friends." - Emily
 
"It was fun to make people happy!" - Basit
 
"It was great to help the hungry. It made me feel good." - Michael  
The Middle School weighed, bagged, and boxed cheez-its at God's Pantry.
 
The organizations who benefited included the Salavation Army, God's Pantry, Wesley Village, and Habitat for Humanity.
 
In addition to our school-wide day of giving back to our community, KGBD also served as our spring fundraiser. Each student sent out 10 letters to family and friends requesting sponsorships for their service. In the end, we raised nearly $9,000 from 125 donors for the KORE general fund which will be used to support Tuition Assistance, technology and curriculum!
 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
