🌟 DAY OF SERVICE | More than 200 JCPS middle school student leaders stepped up to give back across Louisville today. Explore Ambassadors volunteered at 11 different organizations—making a real impact in our community. 👥 The largest group—70+ Explore Ambassadors from seven schools—packed food boxes at Love the Hungry. 🪑 25 students from Ramsey Middle built chairs and bicycles for refugee families’ apartments with Catholic Charities of Louisville.
