Lansing’s students are the Windemere Park Charter Academy are teaching a lesson to adults around the country with this story on the NBC Nightly News. They are learning and practicing how to give and serve others. Mid-Michigan is struggling economically and lots of people are looking for hope. These kids in a public school are reflecting hope. What are the local churches doing to give to and to serve others?

Nit: they aren’t “kids in a public school” — this is a charter school.
And churches are active in the local community… It just doesn’t always make the top story on TV or in the LSJ. Just last weekend, my church hosted a free Major League Baseball competition for kids and focused the outreach specifically on two neighborhoods – one in south Lansing and the other in Holt.
Charter Schools are public schools. They are free and open to everyone, and they are not allowed to turn away any kids at the door either.
Rob-Thanks for the comment about your church and its work with kids in south Lansing and Holt. Does your church have a blog where they share some of their interactions with the community? Darlene, you make a great point about charter schools. They are not supposed to “cherry-pick” for students.
