Sixth graders participate in service learning at Rosie's Place

As part of the Tenacre LEADS program, sixth graders participated in a service-learning project at Rosie’s Place on Tuesday. Rosie’s Place is a Boston-based organization that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity, and find security in their lives. Lee Frechette, a member of Tenacre's Class of 1975 who formerly directed Tenacre’s outreach efforts and has volunteered at Rosie’s for many years, helped the sixth-grade class organize the visit. Before the visit, sixth graders researched Rosie’s website to learn about its history, mission, programs, and the people it serves. During the visit, students made Mother’s Day cards and worked collaboratively to assemble more than 150 gift bags for the women, as well as small bags of soap. This is the third year the sixth-grade class has visited Rosie’s.
