In the spirit of the mission statement of Whitefield "others before self," the seventh grade decided to forego its annual back-to-school party and instead spend an afternoon volunteering at Books for Africa in Smyrna. Books For Africa is the largest shipper of donated text and library books to the African continent. They have shipped over 28 million books to 49 different countries since 1988. The students sorted text and library books and then packed them into boxes. The afternoon of serving ended with the students and employees of Books for Africa being served ice cream at the warehouse.
