LCSD Day of Service Activities

6th Annual LCSD Day of Service

More than 100 members of the LCSD family spent the last day of fall break helping seniors, widows, and other homeowners with tedious outdoor tasks. One group even offered a helping hand at a site that benefits everyone. This is one key example of our commitment to offering a well-rounded education that builds skills, character, and service. Special thanks to Miss Mississippi 2026 Jane Granberry, Compass Datacenters, and the EMBDC for their support. #LCSDExcellence #BuiltforWhatsNext
