Brattleboro Union High School Talent Search 10th graders Melanie St. John and Chloe Chase capped off the community service project they started during this pandemic year by delivering donations they collected to the Groundworks Collaborative, which provides ongoing support to families and individuals facing housing and food insecurities in the Brattleboro area. Laura Chapman, from Groundworks, expressed her appreciation for the number of items collected for the residents of their shelters.

After that successful project, Melanie and Chloe are spearheading another project at their high school—creating handmade cards for the residents of a long-term care facility in Brattleboro called Pine Heights. Thanks Melanie and Chloe (along with the support of Assistant Principal Kate Margaitis and Talent Search Counselor Holly Hammond) for working to make a difference in your community.
