This list is illustrative. For example, all homeless shelters would make this list or any hospital candy striper program would make this list. Also, this is a work in progress. It is not meant to limit student creativity, but to enhance the experience of the individual and the community. If something is not on the list, check it out with Ms. Lyons.
