Spectrum Charter School was out in the community again! 💙Our students recently visited Rewind – Reuse Center & Workshop in Export, PA for a hands-on day of creativity and service. The scholars packed art kits for a local school preparing to celebrate Easter, helping spread joy and resources to other students in our area.While touring the center, they had the special opportunity to see a one-of-a-kind popsicle stick house that was donated to Rewind. Once completed, it will be gifted to a local family — what a beautiful example of community giving! 🏠✨To top it off, our students made their own cinnamon brooms to take home, adding a fun and creative touch to the experience.We are so proud of the teamwork, service, and positive representation our students continue to show in the community.
