Lakes High Students at 'We Day' to Recognize Community Service
A group that includes a social studies teacher from the Lakewood school, as well as students from other South Sound schools, earned their place at today's star-studded event at Seattle's KeyArena through serving others.
A group of students from Lakes High are among the thousands of young people expected at We Day in Seattle today for a star-studded program.
The youth-empowerment event is a program by the Canadian-based nonprofit group Free The Children, founded by Craig Kielburger when he was just a kid himself. It is designed to show kids positive approaches to life and ways to set themselves free by helping others.
The KeyArena event Wednesday, which runs from 9:15 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be streamed live at http://www.weday.com/ starting at 9:15 a.m.
