4. JAG McQueen Students Give Board Games to Needy at

Renown Hospital

A group of thoughtful McQueen High School JAG Juniors donated board games, clothing, and books to the children staying at Renown Children’s Hospital. Nancy Trott, JAG Coordinator become emotional saying:

"Today I was asked to attend their giving of the items to the children in the hospital. These kids....always tug my heart."

Community service and learning to give back are competencies that are taught in the JAG program, and they help students who have needed help to see how valuable their help is valuable to others. In this special season, it is wonderful for students to learn that "it is in giving that we receive."
