The 10U A PAL team’s community service will be to raise money for Roughriders of Long Island Sled Hockey.  There will be a donation collection for used clothing, household items and toys.  The collection will occur on Saturday, December 9th from 1:00 to 2:00 PM on the front circle at the RINX.   You are welcome to invite friends and family to bring a bag and stay to watch our scheduled 3pm game.  See the flyer below for information on what is acceptable to donate.

 

All donations will be weighed.   We will receive a check for the PAL team to hand deliver at one of the Roughrider’s games, tentatively scheduled in January.  It will be very exciting and rewarding to help fellow hockey players that are in need.

Main Street School students are doing their part in making a difference in the world by collecting items for the victims of hurricanes Irma and Maria, which devastated communities in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands. They’ve been collecting a variety of items from Oct. 31 through Nov. 9.

“As a school community we are being global citizens and we are collecting necessary items,” Principal Joyce Chapnick said. “There are many people still living without electricity and clean water, and they are in need of many items, including care for babies.”

The students have been collecting items, such as diapers, baby food, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels, batteries, flashlights, first aid supplies, garbage bags and more. The relief efforts are led by 36 fourth-graders and 15 fifth-graders who felt compelled to help when they learned about the devastating impact of the hurricanes. They presented to their peers why it’s important to get involved and made daily reminders about the donations.

“We can help make a difference,” Chapnick said. “The student leaders will pack everything up on Nov. 14 to be donated.”

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes from the Southern Connecticut State University softball and women’s lacrosse programs partnered up to assist the efforts of the Al’s Angels organization on Saturday.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes take part in on an annual basis. SCSU student-athletes volunteered roughly 2,500 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2016-17 academic year.

Sparkill, N.Y. – The St. Thomas Aquinas College Women’s Basketball team partnered with the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill on Tuesday evening in the Days for Girls Project.

The project engages volunteers to create and distribute quality, sustainable feminine hygiene kits and health education to women and girls around the globe in need, creating a more dignified, free and educated world. Girls without access to sanitary supplies face days without school, income and leaving their homes, often leading to a never ending cycle of harmful realities. This project provides a unique volunteer opportunity aimed at helping every girl, everywhere.
