During the &#8216;Heart of a Highlander&#8217; serve day, these students asked some truly insightful questions. We are so excited to continue reaching students in the Central Florida region and beyond in 2025!</span></p>

We look forward to continuing this partnership and exploring even more creative ways to engage local community members!</span></p>
