Today, JM seniors gave back to their community through a variety of different service projects around Fredericksburg. From painting murals to cleaning up parks to reading to the elementary schools, the Ceili Leahy Senior Day of Service allowed our seniors an opportunity to honor their community and the legacy of Ceili Leahy.
Good work, JM!
