Kids at Cody High School in Detroit called on 7 Action News in January, saying help fix my school! They said they were sick and tired of having ceiling tiles fall on their heads as they tried to learn. That story now has inspired action.
Rachid Elabed, the Community Engagement Manager at The Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS) says he saw the story and decided he could be part of the solution. He went to the leadership team and suggested they take on fixing the school for a community service project. They made it part of the 12th Annual Arab American Service Day.
