Watch These Teens S.O.A.R.

These kids find a different way to lend a helping hand each month.

This week our Whiz Kids are from a group called S.O.A.R. at Middle School South.  This clubs' objective and namesake is Serving Others At Random. They meet once a month to volunteer their time and talents, and are led by teachers Ms. Wessman and Ms. Harper. 

One month these teens baked dog biscuits for the Lake County Humane Society.  The next month, they made fleece blankets for the Lake County Women's Shelter. This month they went  to Lexington to play Bingo. 

They also help out at the elementary school, and are now collecting for Mother's Day Baskets. The teachers have made it easy for the kids to see the benefits from the donation of their time. The activities are fun and something the kids look forward to participating in.
