Students at Chestatee High School in Gainesville spent their class time on Friday serving the community with good deeds and improving their skill sets. The schoolwide day of service consisted of students from all grades participating in different projects, some located at the school and others at local nonprofits around town. In the event, called “Commit to the C,” grade levels focused on different areas including character, community, college and career, explained Mary Anne Collier, Chestatee math teacher and one of the program’s organizers.
