For many college students, Spring Break is a time of excess and indulgence. But as KSC senior Hannah Dale reported, a couple of week-long breaks in February and March were times for some students to indulge in their excess social consciousness. They joined such programs as Alternative Spring Break and Here’s Life Inner City and fanned out across the country to build houses, set up computer labs for a women’s half-way house, improve the environment, tutor at-risk youth, and dig ditches. The students organized and led these trips, so they not only helped those in need, they also helped themselves learn some valuable lessons, including leadership skills.

We are of so very proud of Janell Lauria and the team of KSC students who positively impacted the at-risk youth program at Atlanta, Ga in March. An experience that was not only life altering for them but for all involved. The respect, dedication, compassion and integrity was humbling and a true gift for those who they were able to reach out to. They gave it their all and the returns were ovewhelming. Thank you KSC for offering these students the opportunity to see themselves shine and give back as so much has been given to them. KSC is truly dedicated to their students and committment to learn, grow and give. Thank you KSC for helping Janell grow to an AMAZING WOMAN — Parents of Janell Lauria — Class of 2010
