Ralston students make a great

e ffo rt every year to give back to the
community. Even without the com­

munity sendee outcome required

to graduate, our students stay so
involved in activities it's hard not

to notice them assisting in every
event. One msjor experience that

many sophomores, juniors and se­
niors apply for in the fall is being an

Outdoor Ed Counselor. Over four

weekends, four groups of eager high
school students bond with kids from

Ralston elementary schools. Often
the counselors are working with kids

from their former elementary school

including Wildewood, Meadows, Sey­
mour and Rloomf ield. Tie students'

responsibilities include supervising,
leading and participating in games,

and creating memorable moments for

everyone. They had to instruct the
campers in the challenge courses and

earn their tru s t on the high-rise. With
campfres, smores, and stories by

the fire, the Outdoor Ed program was

nothing short of a great three days
and a chance for Ralston students to

interact with the community.
