Students Live Their Faith by Learning to Serve, Highland View Academy, Chesapeake Conference, David and Oleta Emerson,

Oleta Emerson stood in her driveway with tears in her eyes as she waved goodbye to the final van of students. Before they left, she prayed with each vanload and thanked the 20-plus Highland View Academy (HVA) students for spending the day helping her with her family’s farm. It was a simple moment, but one that captured the heart of service- based learning.
