On September 26, Central Christian School held its 56th Annual Community Service Day where students and staff helped local nonprofits by painting, power washing, baking cookies and distributing mulch—work that benefited nonprofits, churches and neighborhoods in Wayne, Holmes and Stark counties. High school students served 17 groups while younger students washed ambulances and cleaned parks to help fund tuition assistance.
