Last month seventh grade students from Kings Christian Academy in Callaway participated in their annual Serve-a-thon.
Students swarmed around a St. Inigoes home to lend a hand in the garden, inside the house, wash the vehicles – including a county school bus – and even the family dogs.
Each year the academy selects a family or individual as recipient of their help. This year Anna, of St. Inigoes, was surprised to find her family had been chosen. Anna drives a St. Mary’s County School bus, and lives with her husband and son, Philip. “I had no idea they were going to do this,” she told The Bay Net. “They usually go to help older folk.”
In recent years Anna’s husband has undergone multiple surgeries which limit how much activity he is able to take on in the yard and at home. Earlier this year Anna’s mother came to live with them and the family cared for her until she passed away.
“Those seventh-graders really helped,” said Anna.
