GREENFIELD — In honor of the season of giving, Greenfield High School students spent Friday morning doing activities for Community Service Learning Day.

This is the fourth year that students have done activities such as card making with the Senior Center and making reusable bags with Greening Greenfield, as well as many off-site activities, such as projects at the Greenfield Public Library, reading to students at Federal Street School and helping at the Moose Lodge.

Principal Karin Patenaude said it was a great day for the students to give back to the place they live in.

“It’s setting an example for what they can do to help others while in college or wherever they live as an adult,” she said. “The event has improved over the years with a lot of support from community members and local organizations. It’s a wonderful way to begin the winter break.”
