Community Service Day

Every semester, Saint Leo has a Community Service Day. It’s a time for us to implement our core values of Community, Responsible Stewardship, and Personal Development. It may sound boring but it’s actually a lot of fun! We get the day off school and you get to hang out with your friends and help people too. This semester, I went with a whole bunch of my friends and some other people I didn’t know to the sheriff’s department in Dade City where we got to paint a mural on the wall. See not so bad! The sheriff’s office runs an after school program for the kids coming out of the not so nice neighborhoods. The room where these kids go was really boring, so they asked us to paint some stuff on the walls. We decided to paint an underwater seascape. We had a mermaid, a shark, a scuba diver, a crab, some starfish, rainbow fish, pebbles, the underside of a boat, lots of sea weed, and more! I’m not the best painter in the world so I stuck to the pebbles. You can see my work below in the pictures. Our sea has very colorful pebbles on its seabed. I also just want to point out to you all, that we did this in January and we were in shorts and t-shirts! Welcome to Florida!!! No snow here!

Enjoying January in shorts!

Please check out the pebbles!
