Star Community Newspapers-Students getting a lesson in giving back

Star Community Newspapers: "Students getting a lesson in giving back

Three Southlake philanthropic groups have aimed their efforts at teaching Southlake students the value of giving back. The Leo Club, National Charity League, and ASTRA are all groups that are made up of members who attend Southlake Carroll high schools and middle schools.

Some people may take this kind of involvement for granted but the adult leaders of these three organizations believe their students are making a real difference.

“I think the hook that gets most of these kids wanting to do community service is the hundred hours to put on their resume,” said Tony Dirker, a U.S. History Teacher for Southlake Carroll High School and the director for the Leo Club."
