9 Service learning Habitat for Humanity Blazer Build The Blazer football team helped rebuild a families home. I taught me to never take anything for granted.

10 Service Learning – My thoughts I enjoyed the community service that the Blazer football team did this year. This was the first time I have ever done community service. My favorite was the Meet the Blazers because I liked working with the kids. This experience showed me that I really want to be a coach. I want to be a positive role model for children.
