Students participate in Volunteer Days

Students in grades 9 and 10 participated in Volunteer Days March 22 and 27, where whole grade levels worked with agencies and organizations throughout the Capital District.

“With these two days complete we have achieved our goal of having every student in the high school engage in a service-related activity in the 2011-2012 school year,” said Voorheesville High School Principal Imran Abbasi. During the school year, students lent a hand to the New Salem Volunteer Department, Atria Senior Services, Ronald McDonald House, Thatcher Park, New Visions, Parsons Family and Child Center, the Regional Food Bank and Voorheesville’s athletic department and elementary school.

“We are grateful and proud of the faculty and students who have made this initiative a success and helped our school donate almost 2,000 hours of community service for those worthwhile organizations in our area,” Abbasi said.
