Lick Wilmerding Parents’ Association volunteered at Oakland Unity High School on “MLK Day of Service”.  The Oakland Unity High School community would like to thank the Lick Wilmerding community for their dedication and hard work.  Over 20 volunteers from the Lick Wilmerding Parents’ Association and students battled the weather and spent the day (Monday, January 18) working on various projects on the Unity campus.  We hope to continue this relationship with Lick Wilmerding in the future.
