Student activists go global in Gaston

Student activists go global in Gaston: "Because the food will be donated to area food banks, that project has local and regional implications. But student activists in Gaston have their eye on national and international philanthropy as well. “Things started out locally but ended up globally,” said Lauren Quinsland, a social studies teacher at the school, who’s spearheaded a number of service efforts over the last several years. Last spring, there was the “Ridiculously Awesome Dodgeball Tournament,” or RAD, which raised $400 toward rehabilitation services for children in Uganda."
