Murphy and Sarah Leoffler traveled to Scituate High School last Friday to work
at a fundraiser with members of that school's Community Service Learning program. At the event, parents could bring their
children to the SHS gym and leave them with students from Scituate &
Marshfield who would entertain them with a variety activities, while the
parents enjoyed a night out.
The
money raised helped fund a service project that provided "birthday
boxes" filled with presents, cake mix, and other party supplies for
homeless children living at Carolina Hill shelter in Marshfield. According to event organizers, "the event was
fantastic and the kids there seemed to have a blast! They were able to collect about 35 birthday
presents for kids at Carolina Hill and the group was able to reach their goal
of raising over $700 as well. That money
will now go to get all of the party supplies to fill the birthday boxes for
each of the kids in the shelter."
Kudos
to the students at SHS for coming up with this wonderful idea and a big thanks to the members of the MHS Peer Leaders who took part in the event to help support a
fantastic organization.
