In 2020, students in ASB took on a project that had some pretty beautiful results. In multiple parts over multiple class periods, students researched leaders in today's world and wrote a children's story about their chosen leader. Then, they recorded themselves reading the story to share with the 4th graders at Citrus Elementary School. (BOOK EMOJI)
ASB class typically has a relationship with the Citrus 4th graders and volunteers time at their campus to act as “big buddies.” However, due to distance learning and the pandemic, they made their impact in a virtual format.
