Day of Service logo

Colonial School District is proud to host an annual Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage students and families to make their day off a "day on" by participating in various service projects at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. Our next Day of Service event will take place on Jan. 18, 2027. If you are interested in being a part of the planning committee, please reach out to Jessica Lester, Community Relations Coordinator at jlester@colonialsd.org.
