A class of Morgantown High students chose APBP as their service-learning site for spring 2018–and we are so glad! After learning about the educational mission of APBP, they spent last Wednesday at the Aull Center responding to letters. Many thanks to Mr. Colistra and Ms. Mays for creating this beautiful opportunity.
