To celebrate Friends School of Minnesota’s 25 years, we are taking our values out to the community and undertaking 25 service projects. Families, students, teachers, and friends of the school are doing service in honor of FSMN. From packing food for the hungry, to raking leaves and raising money for pancreatic cancer awareness, we are making a difference!
Here are twelve service projects FSMN community members have done this fall:
