Seniors Give Back in Service Days

The Class of 2024 spent two days giving back to the New Haven community on May 29 and 30. These service days were spent helping local organizations in gardening, yard work, painting, cleaning, helping to build houses, prepping for summer camp, and organizing food and donated items, among other tasks. Local organizations included:  

CT Mental Health
Sunrise Cafe
NH Children's Museum
Save the Sound
Gather New Haven
Neighborhood Housing
Special Olympics
CT Food Share
Got This! 
Kensington Playground
Mary Wade
Habitat for Humanity
Girl Scout's Camp AnSeOx
Lunch & DESK
Home of the Brave

 

This year seniors have been logging community service hours independently throughout the school year to encourage an ongoing culture of service. But the tradition of spending time as a full class engaged in giving back continues.
