Volunteers: Touching Lives, Lifting Spirits

Bishop Feehan students participate in annual essay contest sponsored by Rockland Trust in conjunction with National Volunteer Week.

The first, second, and third place high school winners of the annual essay contest sponsored by Rockland Trust in conjunction with National Volunteer Week were Bishop Feehan High School juniors Olivia Hitchcock of Attleboro, Carolyn Chlebek of Foxborough, and Chandler Townsend of Attleboro.

The essays addressed the theme “Volunteers: Touching Lives, Lifting Spirits” and were judged on originality, clarity of thought, and writing skills by a panel from the Greater Attleboro Women of Today.

The contest was open to area students in grades 6 through 12.  Hitchcock read her essay at Attleboro High School during the Annual Volunteer Day ceremonies sponsored by Sturdy Memorial Hostpital and Attleboro Area Community Council.
