The service trip to Dungannon, Virginia gives 20 rising 8th graders and 5 adult chaperones the opportunity to reach out and help others who are less fortunate. This is our 9th year traveling to this area. The trip began in 2006 with the vision and organization of Kathy Wrenn and then continued under the leadership of Mary Margaret Ryan. As we begin this year's trip, nearly two hundred Collegiate students have had the opportunity to participate in this experience. Over the years, we have helped a countless number of individuals and made a significant difference in their lives. Throughout the week, the children help others in need, and grow to learn more about themselves and each other. We work hard but play hard too - enjoying the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Wednesday we will take a day trip to Natural Tunnel State Park. We are lucky to share this time together as Collegiate Cougars.
