'Some of my family actually serves too. It means a lot that we're helping and taking time out of class time to really help with stuff like this,' said Latrel Centner, an 8th grader.
'I'd much rather help out the community clean up the community than just do paperwork,' said Joseph Long, an 8th grader.
The district superintendent said the experience exposes students to the impact of putting service above self.

MJ's Motivation: 'Failing forwards vs backwards'

For some, failure accelerates progress acting as fuel. For others it becomes a barrier. We will fail again. Every one of this point on, commit to doing whatever it takes to fail forward.
