Into the Streets Day

In earlier post I had mentioned that I would be participating in Into the Streets Day. Into the Streets is the community service organization at Stonehill that also happens to be the largest student organization on campus. On Monday, August 25th, I joined the entire First Year Class, the Peer Mentors and other members of the Stonehill Community by participating in a community service project in the Easton area. My group's assignment was the Children's Museum of Easton. Our guide showed us around the museum and even let us play before getting to work! Our project was to prepare around 5,000 letters to be sent out to the community to make them aware of all the fun events the museum is holding this fall. Here's some pictures from our day.

Afterwards the entire group headed back to the Sports Complex to reflect on our community service project. We all agreed that while it wasn't the most exciting or glamorous job, we all had a good time and felt we really helped out the Children's Museum. A mailing of this size would have taken their small staff all day! We were all glad that we could help out their staff and I look forward to staying involved with Into the Streets.
