10th Annual Make A Difference Day, Sept. 28

/in , /by

Ten years ago with a special collaboration between Tri-Rivers and United Way of Marion an event where our students give back was created—with an annual Make A Difference Day.

“Tri-Rivers students continually give back to the community through numerous service projects, including today’s special event,” said Jodi Gaietto, assistant principal for Tri-Rivers.

Approximately 275 Tri-Rivers Seniors and staff members will participate in the this annual tradition, today, Friday, Sept. 28, 2018.

Gaietto continued, “This is an excellent opportunity for our community to observe all of the many talented and giving young people who attend Tri-Rivers. The students’ goal is to make an immediate and positive impact in the area.”
