RCS Builds Community this Holiday Season

Service-learning activities at Rippowam Cisqua School offer our students the opportunity to consider social justice issues, to think critically about these social justice issues and, as a result, to take informed action within the School, local, and global community. This holiday season, Rippowam Cisqua’s Upper Campus students and staff collected over 1,000 nonperishable food items for Neighbors Link and the Community Center of Northern Westchester.

In addition, students and teachers brought in sets of new pajamas and raised money to purchase sleepwear. The Upper Campus community donated over 150 new pajamas to the Community Center of Northern Westchester’s Share the Warmth drive. Through these activities, students become aware of their own gifts and welcome the opportunity to share with their neighbors. Students, faculty, and staff look forward to continuing to partner with Neighbors Link and the Community Center of Northern Westchester in the future. Many thanks to all who participated in this very successful holiday drive.
