Eighteen Voorheesville high school students gave back – three hours of their free time – this past Saturday to participate in the Voorheesville/New Scotland Volunteer Day.
The students helped with yard work and flower planting for seniors in our community, as well as park maintenance, and cemetery grounds work. There was a record number of student participants for this year’s event that was organized by the New Scotland Kiwanis and Voorheesville Key Club.
Kiwanis Volunteer Day Coordinator Janna Shillinglaw said, “I want you to know that the student volunteers not only worked hard to make the projects a success, they did so with a high level of maturity, responsibility, enthusiasm, and pride. As I know most of these students, this came as no surprise, but it was still heart warming to witness.”
