Student Council and ACT at Rustic Falls Nature Camp!

On April 22nd, Earth Day and the beginning of National Volunteer Week, ACT and Student Council had the privilege of helping out at Rustic Falls Nature Camp for the day!  Students worked hard to clean up branches, spread mulch on the paths, and to dig a ditch for a new waterfall.  The Lentz's provided a wonderful lunch and snacks of s'mores over a campfire.  We couldn't have asked for better weather!  In the end McCracken was able to provide a check of over $1200 to Rustic Falls to help in the mission of providing outdoor experiences and a restful place to families struggling with illness or to children who otherwise wouldn't have this opportunity.  Enjoy the pictures from our day!
