Community Service Day 2013
Westminster students and faculty fanned out to 19 locations in Connecticut Oct. 3 to perform volunteer work as a part of the school’s annual all-school Community Service Day.
They boarded vans and buses to spend the day helping others at the 4-H Educational Center in Bloomfield, Camp Chase in Burlington, the Valley YMCA in Granby, Camp Horizons in South Windham, Covenant Prep School in Hartford, Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation in Bloomfield, House of Bread in Hartford, Manchester Soup Kitchen in Manchester, South Park Inn Homeless Shelter in Hartford, the University of Hartford Magnet School in West Hartford, the Farmington River, Foodshare Regional Market Warehouse in Hartford, Simsbury Housing Authority, the Dr. Joseph S. Renzulli Gifted and Talented Academy in Hartford, the Senior Center at Eno Memorial Hall in Simsbury, Simsbury Community Farm, the Simsbury Historical Society, Gifts of Love in Avon and a private home. Staff members also helped Jenny Philip with a campus beautification project to plant 2,000 daffodil bulbs along Perkin Memorial Drive.
At various locations, students and faculty helped with outdoor fall cleanup, made and served lunches, bagged food, cleaned and organized interior and exterior spaces, moved outdoor furniture and visited with clients served by the organizations they visited.
“Service to others is a habit of the heart which needs to be modeled in the formative years for all young people,” said Gloria Connell, Westminster’s director of community service. “Westminster students and faculty take the school’s core value of community very seriously and were very pleased to be able to spend the day helping others in the greater community.”
