Service Learning

Westchester Country Day School Service Day




On Friday, October 7th, WCDS middle schoolers had their first social service day of the year to help people less fortunate than themselves.

Participator Paige Hetley said, “It was fun getting to interact with kids and seniors from other places.”

WCDS students went to different places. One group went to Elm Towers Senior Center, another went to Hasty Elementary School, and another went to Newcomer’s Elementary School. The people who went to Elm Towers made decorations for their kitchen and for fall. At the elementary schools Westchester students acted as tutors to help young people with their reading and math.

Preston Shoaf said, “It felt good to be in charge of a group of students who listen to me.”

Afterwards the groups went to laser x and putt putt as a treat.

We played at the arcade at putt putt and won tickets. Then, with the tickets, we traded them for prizes like candy and snap bracelets.

At Laser X we played laser tag and video games where you could win tickets you could also trade in for cool prizes like candy and Slinkiys and some glow sticks.

We all enjoyed the time at service day.
