Leveraging assessments for leader development

Partnership enhances Prohumanitate spirit
The ACLC in partnership with A Bed and A Book provides local children with a soft place to dream. “Bedlessness” is an often-overlooked problem that plagues our community. A better night’s sleep supports a child’s ability to learn and thrive in school while boosting self confidence and pride, building and delivering beds to families in need serves the greater good and exemplifies the school’s commitment to the motto, "Pro Humanitate" (For Humanity).
