The hour-long event afforded students the opportunity to socially engage with our community’s older citizens and to earn community service hours toward graduation.

Bridges School Social Worker Chalet Dewey-Flint said students in the Alternative Education program, a component of the Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation, have become more committed to giving back and continue to share ideas on how to make their schools and communities better places.

Dewey-Flint said Bridges students will return to St. Francis Commons next month and will explore additional community service opportunities.
