Heads' Letter
Corbett Prep 8th graders showcased their volunteerism and altruistic interests in the 2019 International Baccalaureate Community Service Project Expo held in the Grand Room Wednesday! The students began combining years of learning with IB expectations by asking themselves, "How can I make a difference?"
Through this process, our 8th graders came up with service projects with a purpose. This exploration brought awareness to the diverse needs for service locally, nationally and internationally, which ranged from reading to children at an orphanage in India to raising money for animal shelters.
