KEYSTONE
HIGH SCHOOL

What SPARK Means to Us:
"SPARK means being able to do small things that make people happy and forget about the negative things they've experienced that day or week. High school is getting to be a more and more cynical place to be and it feels great to be able to make small actions to improve people's days."
