For my sophomore year, I participated for Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy via Spearhead. Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy is a high school program focused on making an impact through action. As a member of Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy I volunteered to pass out and read books for students at Dugan Elementary School, along with contributing to a community project that donated to the Pediatric Emergency Room at Paulding Hospital
I've also done many volunteer opportunities helping at Dugan Elementary School, a local elementary school right next to South Paulding High School, where I have helped the staff with their PBIS parties, which are celebrations rewarding students' good behavior.
I've also participated in Spartan Holiday, where all of South Paulding's feeder elementary schools come for a day of fun and festivity by playing holiday-season themed games and activities!
Additionally, I've volunteered twice at our school's senior night, an event designed to help parents prepare for their child's graduation, and teach about them about their child's future and how they can support them.
