1. Because Brecknock Cares
Day of Service
in Memory of Mrs. Horning
On Thursday, May 20th, Brecknock will honor Mrs. Lisa Horning by doing
something that was dear to her heart….serving others. For years Mrs. Horning
encouraged her students to show compassion for others by supporting organizations
that help people in need. For one day, the students and staff at Brecknock will
support charities that were important to Mrs. Horning. We will do this to honor her
legacy Because Brecknock Cares.
