ATLANTA—Our Lady of the Assumption School in Atlanta dedicated Wednesday, Sept. 24, as its fourth annual Day of Service. Students in all grades participated, serving 20 organizations.

Fifth- and sixth-grade students packaged 10,000 non-perishable meals for school-aged children in Africa. Third- and fourth-graders put together 464 snack bags for family members of children with cancer.
