This holiday season, the guests at Rochester’s Open Door Mission received bright gift bags, each personalized with words of hope from students in Churchville-Chili Senior High School’s Leo Club. The group spent several weeks collecting donations for an extensive assortment of useful, new personal care items. On December 14, they assembled 80 bags, gift-wrapped each, and added festive cards for the recipients.
The annual community service activity is one of the many projects the school’s Leo Club works on during the year. Participating student members included: McKenna Arguien, Caleb Bailey, Riley Bauer, Madison Brown, Hannah Caldwell, Kylie Camman, Camille Collins, Gretchen Dolan, Lindsay Donner, Noah Donner, Jon LeFrois, Mikenna Tolliver, Jaida Ward, Leah Ward, and Maya Wynne. Class advisors for this school year are SHS dance and health teacher Janelle Hernandez and Lions Club member Marty Molinari.
The Leo Club is for students in grades 9-12 and is sponsored by the Churchville Lions Club. The group’s focus is on developing leadership skills and promoting individual responsibility.
