Community Service at Seven Locks ES
Service to the Community is one of our Wildcat Ways!
At Seven Locks, we encourage our children and families to give back to the community.
We offer several community service project options throughout the year. Students who participate in at least 5 projects, receive a special Wildcats Service Award at the end of the year in honor of their achievement!
If you’re interested in supporting one of these events or want to help with PTA community service more broadly, please contact Nyla Beth Gawel (nylabeth@gmail.com).

April Earth Day Outdoor Clean Up
