BLAST : Bringing Learning and Service Together
GHS teachers and their 2nd and 3rd grade students partnered with the Cameron Park Rotary Club for a schoolwide bike collection. The Rotary’s well-known Bike Program, Pedal-it-Forward, collaborates with local organizations to rescue bicycles from landfills, provide mechanic training to inmates, and donate refurbished bikes to children and refugees. Thanks to the generosity of the GHS community, students collected 26 bicycles, along with bike parts and materials needed for repairs. Families further supported the effort by distributing flyers throughout the community. This hands-on project not only supported a valuable local initiative but also gave students a tangible experience in service learning—highlighting how teamwork and compassion can make a real difference, one bike at a time.
