Habitat House

Another house is going up and we were there to lend a hand! What a beautiful day to help out with Habitat! Many of our teachers gathered together with others to help out our community. It is so nice to be able to work with others who are much more talented in building. I appreciate those who had the patience with me and allowed me to hammer some nails.
Also, the food that was provided for lunch was FANTASTIC! Thanks to those terrific cooks!

I think it's wonderful that the teachers and students get involved with Habitat for Humanity. It truly gives everyone involved a sense of how fortunate we are for the things that we have.

What a great opportunity for you and your students. I think it is absolutely wonderful to give back to the community like that. I grew up in a small town where I volunteered on different occasions. It's always nice to help others.

I think we need to instill the importance of "giving back" to the community . . . and what better way to give back to the community than to model it by being a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity? I applaud you, your colleagues, and your students for getting involved in this kind of project.

What a great experience! When I was in college, I was a member of a volunteer organization that had the opportunity to help with a Habitat for Humanity house. What a great opportunity! I hope that some day soon I will have the time to devote to this great cause once again!

I really appreciate this type of volunteer work. I have helped out with similar projects in Delaware and the people that I meet through these activities have been truly wonderful! What a neat idea to have a school volunteer together! Thanks for sharing!

The GED tests you on the same sort of subjects as a traditional school. Math, science, reading, writing, and social studies are all on it. The whole test takes about seven hours to complete. Don’t faint! You are allowed to take the test in pieces if you want. The gist of the GED is more about thinking critically than memorization. It will test your ability to figure things out, not recite facts. It will also ask you to apply your knowledge to different situations to achieve a solution.
