As students in Linda Pope’s fourth-grade class watched a slideshow about the American Civil Rights Movement, the historical images—some inspiring and others disturbing—included a clip featuring American folk singer and activist Pete Seeger signing the Baptist hymn “We Shall Overcome.” As the students listened, they spontaneously began joining in, singing along aloud—apparently inspired by the raw emotion of the voices that filled their classroom.

There were quite a few firsts bringing a finale to this school year. With graduation commencement ceremonies drawing to a close last week, it’s always assuring to know that the graduating classes of 2014 will leave behind a legacy that no Gilroy students ever have. Combined, graduates from Gilroy High School, Christopher High School and Mt. Madonna Continuation School contributed more than 50,000 volunteer community service hours. Setting the groundwork for youth community involvement is a great way to fill a need with volunteer organizations as well as provide a foundation of stewardship, giving everything from nonprofits, service groups and churches an extra helping hand. Kudos to a class of young volunteers.
