The 30 high school students from Grace Brethren Church in Wooster, Ohio are in South Bend for a week. They’re working at McKinley School and Hope Ministries, they’ll also be going to area businesses, fire stations and schools to bless the workers.

The teens say they are not limited in what they can accomplish.

In Ohio we have Ohio graduation tests, and you basically only have to get a 50 percent to pass it. And it seems like such low expectations for us to have for students. They should be excelling higher, but we only expect them to get half the questions right you need to be living with high expectations for yourself,” Kelsey Eberly from Grace Brethren Church said.

For the next three nights the teens will help instruct over 350 kids at a free soccer camp, put on by South Bends Grace Community Church.
