FROM NORTH PARK

▲ SERVICE DAY IS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR

Our annual Service Day looked a little different this year because of COVID, as we were kept from going out to organizations to serve. But we did come together on campus to work on various projects. Beaumont Service Day Moderator and World Languages Teacher Alice Pamies summed it up in a poem: We are grateful to have served today so The hungry will eat; The lonely will get a letter; Children with physical challenges will get a toy; Someone will receive a 3D-printed hand; Freshmen will connect with one another; The homeless will get a mat to sleep on or a blanket to cover them; Children will listen to a story recorded just for them; Children and teens in the diocese will have a new mask; Studio Artists paintings will touch the lives of others; And, The earth will be a bit cleaner.
