"Having grown up in the local area, I am very familiar with the community and local networks that this school is located. It is my home and part of the reason I am so passionate about making a difference within it. I participate, with many other mothers, in a Junior's Women's Club in this area. Every week, I join together with families from this community to volunteer our time to feed the homeless nearby. I am part of an exercise club that meets every day and a book club that meets once a week. This community is comprised of great people that shares some of the same values of this educational institution."
