Volunteering & Service Hours
"Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something."
Dragon Families, Students, Teachers and Staff,
A long standing part of KAPS' tradition is being involved in service and community events in our surrounding areas. These events enrich our KAPS community and allow us to share our time and to let our Dragon spirit shine for all to see!
Students can use any of these events as part of their service hours!
(All students need 10 service hours a semester)
