About:
This Halloween season, a few members of the Chelmsford Girls Tennis team took the initiative to volunteer at the annual South Row Elementary Pumpkin Fair. The event is a popular tradition, featuring activities like pumpkin decorating, crafts, games, food trucks, and even a visit from the CHS Lion mascot, drawing families year after year. Three players from the team dedicated their time throughout the day, helping with setup, working three shifts during the event, and staying to assist with cleanup.
The girls volunteered at the prize table, the face painting station, and a game called Sweet Spot. Their enthusiasm and interaction with the children made a lasting impression, with Liz Haugner, the PTO Chair in charge of the event, expressing her gratitude for the athletes’ contributions. Their involvement reflects their dedication to supporting local events and giving back to the community, embodying the spirit of leadership both on and off the court.
