Alternative School Break

Alternative School Break --ASB-- is a student group that participates in  week long, substance free, service trips during Spring Break in March, and often during Winter Break in February as well.  Students serve with local organizations in the community to which they travel, meeting community need and learning about the culture of the area and the people they serve. There's always time for some fun and sight-seeing as well!  Students raise funds throughout the year to keep out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.  

In 2011-2012, students traveled  to Baltimore, Maryland in February, and served with a multi-faceted social service agency, and in March, they traveled around southern Maine and served in day-long projects closer to home .
