Lauralton Hall Student Volunteers Shine
Two Lauralton Hall students were named winners in the essay contest, “What Community Volunteering Means to Me,” sponsored by Volunteer Square in partnership with Hearst Connecticut Media.
First place was awarded to LH senior Kate Canavan. Kate’s essay describes her experience volunteering on political campaigns and the reasons she believes young people should get engaged in the political process. Third place was awarded to LH sophomore Cristina Ludwig. Cristina's essay describes the community service project she founded, inspired by her great-grandmother. Called “Cristina's Cookies, Cards, and Cocoa,” the service project brings cheer to the elderly. Read both essays here.
“We received a record number of essays this year,” said Julianne Alberty, Executive Director, Volunteer Square. “Students representing 19 high schools in Connecticut submitted essays expressing what volunteering means in their lives. It was a very difficult decision to make this year.”
