Country School Students Provide Holiday Cheer
Ninth graders Alexis Rodgers, Deyanté McKinstry, Daly Baker and Audrey Magnusen, were among the 33 students who delivered “Dove bags” of food for 43 local families on Fri., Dec. 15.
The Dove Program, currently in its 49th year, is overseen and organized by Person-to-Person, a non-profit organization located in Darien and Norwalk. The food was donated by students in the school’s Middle (Grades 5&6) and Upper (Grades 7-9) divisions.
“Through this program, the students are able to take an active role in responding to the needs of members in our community who might otherwise go without this holiday season” said Country School Teacher and Grade Level Coordinator Elizabeth Carroll. “This is one of several community outreach initiatives in which we work to bring to life components of our Mission Statement: “to teach personal, social and environmental responsibility to create a community that honors diversity and our common humanity.”
