Alternate Spring Break is a week-long community service project which was designed to let students become more aware of the problems of disadvantaged individuals. "Participating in Alternate Spring Break will make students more aware of their surroundings and how things really look with blinders off" said Rachelle Lehner, coordinator of community service programs. "This program lets students give back to the community, gain respect for those less fortunate and gain experience in building a house or renovating n one. "I came on ASB because I wanted to help Baskervill Ministries and because, this being my first real spring break, I wanted to do something productive," senior Ann Goggins said. "I have been very productive, but beyond that, I have met a group of people whom I can honestly say have been instrumental in helping me define me. Only four days and I feel a 'family growing here."
