World Hunger Project

The students in AP World History (Mrs. Clark, teacher) have been working on this service learning project.

Learn what they have done. The document linked below lists their websites as well as directions on how to download the app to help us reach 1,000,000 grains of rice for the United Nation's World Food Program!
