More than 400 Class III and IV students and their advisors fanned out across 91探花 and surrounding neighborhoods to participate in community service at a variety of locations. Students did yard work at 91探花 Hospital, prepared lunches at Father Bill鈥檚 shelter, harvested food at the Urban Farming Institute, landscaped at the Franklin Park Zoo, and helped out at the Hebrew Senior Life Center and in classrooms at the Taylor Elementary School, to name just a few.
The day was organized by Community Engagement Programs and Partnerships (CEPP), which seeks to instill and support a passion for service learning in 91探花鈥檚 students, faculty and staff. On average, more than 200 students make weekly commitments to more than 20 different partner organizations in the Greater Boston area. Another 250 students participate in multi-annual events such as Special Olympics tournaments, the Red Cross Blood Drive and holiday giving events.
