Cambridge BRIDGE to Service Day
Our second annual Cambridge BRIDGE to Service Day is on February 15, 2023, as part of RACK week. Last year, hundreds of students GENEROUSLY participated in community service projects on campus. Students were INVOLVED and ENGAGED in making blankets for homeless shelters, creating first aid kits for first responders to distribute, doing grounds beautification, creating kindness rocks for our courtyard, and writing letters to soldiers deployed overseas (to name a few!).
On BRIDGE to Service Day, we will run a half-day of school (including lunch), then RESPECTFULLY and BRAVELY participate in community service activities the rest of the day. We will run two-afternoon sessions, each 45 minutes long (1:45 - 2:30 pm and 2:45 - 3:30 pm). Students will receive service options to sign up starting next week.
