The Class of 2023 spent two days giving back to the New Haven community on May 31 and June 1. 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:
Edgewood Park
CT Mental Health
Sunrise Cafe
Habitat for Humanity New Haven & Bridgeport
Neighborhood Housing Services
Community Soup Kitchen
CT Food Share
Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen
Girl Scouts
This year seniors have been logging community service hours independently throughout the school year, thanks to a recent change in policy implemented by the service committee to encourage an ongoing culture of service. But the tradition of spending time as a full class engaged in giving back continues.
