Service is one of the core values taught at Academy of Our Lady and encompassed in almost all activities. Service is such an essential value that there is a whole week dedicated to service every year. Due to COVID-19, Service Week was limited to one day held October 15. But that did not stop our student body from helping out the community and learning from others about the importance of stewardship and civil leadership. In addition to Service Day, sophomore and juniors attended a Career Day in the afternoon hearing from professionals from various industries including health care, law, education, engineering, communications and literature. Thank you to all of our speakers! To view photos and read more about the day click on the title of this post.
