Enfield High Civics Classes Collect Donations for The Network

Enfield High School Civics Class Students Collect Donations to Benefit The Network Against Domestic Abuse

Enfield High School Civics class students were issued a Community Action Challenge by their teacher, Ms. Nicole Fontaine, and they responded in a big way. Once a marking period, students work in their Public Relations committees to brainstorm the best ways to collect donations for a selected community organization. The class that collects the most donations by the end of that marking period wins a special prize.

The winning class arrived at The Network on a school bus filled with supplies bound for Julie’s safe house. The Network operates a 15-bed confidential safe home for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. All services are provided free of charge and we rely greatly on the generosity of individuals and businesses in the communities we serve. For more information on The Network, visit our website at www.thenetworkct.org.

Pictured is the winning class with all the donations that were collected.
