Foxborough Student Picked for Project 351
Ahern Middle School student Brenden Johnson will represent Foxborough.
Foxborough Ahern Middle School student, Brenden Johnson, will be one of over 250 eighth graders representing the Commonwealth's 351 cities and towns this Saturday, Jan. 14 for a second annual day of service. These student “ambassadors” from across Massachusetts will meet to volunteer and celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr as part of Project 351.
Launched during Governor Deval Patrick’s inaugural in 2010, Project 351 celebrates youth leadership. The project brings together young students who are committed to serving their communities through leadership skills and critical discussions.
On Saturday, student ambassadors will serve on service sites across Boston including, Cradles to Crayons, the Greater Boston Food Bank, the Dorchester Boys and Girls Club and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Towers. The day will conclude at the State House where the ambassadors and the Governor will reflect on the day and celebrate the legacy of Dr. King.
