Paschal High School will be sponsoring the Second Annual Senior Day of Community Service on October 14, 2015.  Last year over 250 students participated and over 13 organizations received volunteers for a morning of community service work.  This year, we need funds for buses as well as chaperones to attend the event with the Seniors while the rest of school is participating in the PSAT.  If you are interested in chaperoning, please contact Jennifer Andrews-Cox at [email protected] and if you would like to donate towards the transportation cost you may do so at bclicking here or by check to PHS c/o of Senior Day of Service.
