About:
Members of Lakeside School’s Student Council and John F. Kennedy High School’s Student Government worked together on May 18 to plant flowers and shrubs at the Hewlett House.
This community center provides resources for individuals with cancer. The Lakeside Student Council pledged $1,000 toward the purchase of plants and shrubs, and Kennedy’s SGA made an additional donation.
“These groups of students and adults united to give a beautiful example of what happens when many people work together to make their community better,” said Josie, a Lakeside Student Council member.
Teacher Soo Becchina serves as the faculty advisor for the Student Council.
“We were thrilled to help refresh this meaningful space, knowing our efforts will help brighten the day for the patients who depend on its services,” Becchina added.
