Sign-ups are open for One Small Step 2022

Would you like to earn community service hours while getting to know a classmate whose political views differ from yours? One Small Step brings people with different political views together for a conversation, not about politics, but about themselves and the experiences that have made them who they are. Participants are required to complete three preliminary workshops for which they also earn community service time. Last year, MLWGS was one of the first high schools in the nation to participate in this StoryCorps program. Ms. DeGroat and the OSS team invite you to take One Small Step in 2022! The sign-up form closes on Wednesday, Feb. 16th, takes about 15 minutes to complete, and can be found in Schoology.
