NCA students help community on Service Saturday

Nashua Christian Academy students had the opportunity to help serve people in the community during the Service Saturday held by the outreach class April 14. Students who signed up had a chance the earn some of their required service hours, and also to work with fellow students to better the community. Junior Kim Luttik, an outreach student, said the class members had four locations at which to work during the event. Throughout this day, they did yard work and organized the proceeds from the baby-bottle coin drive that NCA has been collecting for a local crisis pregnancy center. “It’s a great way for high school students to get involved with helping the community,” Luttik said early last week. Some high school students were paired with an NCA eighth-grader to help complete the tasks of the day. This offered the eighth-graders an opportunity to get to know some of the students they’ll be joining in the high school next year as freshmen, as well as provided a way for them to help the community. This is the first time the eighth grade was involved with the high school outreach. About two dozen students signed up to help out during this service day, along with chaperones Micah Groder, Josh Winans, Peter Luttik and Karen Luttik, the outreach teacher.
