“This past March, the Health Sciences Academy at Monroe  Middle School was able to host volunteers from the staff at Metrolina Christian Academy. During this time, these amazing people worked all over the building. They supported the EC classroom and in the library by helping sort and shelve many books. Our media center coordinator has done an amazing job increasing the amount of books read/checked out, so their help in the library was much appreciated by many since so many books needed to get re-shelved. The volunteers also helped with bulletin boards, doing laundry for many of our students who are unable to do their own laundry, as well supporting our teachers in the lunch room while they were on duty-free lunch. Another great support was during our Men in the Making and Women in the Making groups. The volunteers worked with the students for about an hour in the groups on how to improve themselves in their daily lives. It was an amazing opportunity not only for the volunteers, but the impact they each had with students and staff. We always appreciate the time and energy MCA students and staff put in while they are at HSA@MMS.”
