Millis High School Senior Hosts
Service Learning Food Drive
On Thursday April 5, Dominic
Spada, a Millis High School
senior, hosted a small group
of students in the first component
of an introductory service
learning project. Dominic
learned about service learning
through his five trips to Guatemala
through School the World.
Since sophomore year, Dominic
has had a serious interest in
bringing the tenants of service
learning, combing service with
learning components in order
to benefit both the participants
and the community, to his Millis
community. This group learned
the components of service learning,
as well as gaining information
about the Millis Ecumenical
Food Pantry and nationwide food
pantries. This allowed the students
to gain essential knowledge
in order to be able to have a more
intimate relationship with the
project.
On April 8th, the students
hosted a food drive at Roche
Bros. in Millis, MA to collect the
five items that the food pantry
deemed it needed most. These
items were peanut butter, cereal,
tuna fish, canned soup, tomato
sauce. The volunteers provided
the shoppers with a list upon
their entry to the store as well
as reminders on the shelves of
the needed items. In addition
to cash donations, a total collection
of over 300 products, which
Dominic will be working with a
youth group associated with the
Church of Christ to deliver and
stock at the food pantry.
Dominic is pleased at his inaugural
effort at creating a true
service learning project and is
now looking forward to the opportunity
to lay the groundwork
for this project to become part
of the fabric of the Millis High
School community. If you are
interested in getting involved in
this project, please reach out to
Dominic at domspa18@millisschools.org.
