LINDALE, Texas — Lindale High School student leaders helped their community out on Good Friday by completing a variety of service projects.
Several Lindale High School clubs and organizations gave back to the community by participating in LHS Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy students' service projects throughout Lindale.
“It all began when Chick-fil-A-Lindale Operator Mr. Joshua Johnson reached out, offering to sponsor Lindale High School students through the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy,” said LHS Assistant Principal Melisa Dukes. “The academy takes the students along a seven month journey to help develop student leaders. Our students have been applying their skills throughout the year.”
On Friday, the students collected trash, painted and landscaped at the Journey Center and Lillie Russell Memorial Library, delivered food and donation items to the Dr. David Powell Food Pantry and the We Care Thrift Store, and delivered handmade gifts and flowers from LHS art students to local nursing homes.
Once the projects were complete, the students received lunch from Chick-fil-A.
“This opportunity has been life changing for many of our students, and could not be done without the support of Mr. Johnson and the LHS sponsor Jennifer King,” Dukes said. “We are excited for our LHS students to give back to our Lindale community and to show our appreciation.”
