Service club members share baked goods with those in need in the community.
Throughout the year, the Rocky Point Middle School Community Service Club extends a helping hand to local organizations that assist struggling or elderly community members.
Most recently, students created a variety of baked goods for the Lutheran Christian Center in Rocky Point. They also visit the residents of the Bellhaven Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing Care on select Saturdays.
The club members baked loaves of bread for the St. Anthony’s food pantry following Superstorm Sandy and have continued their community baking outreach by creating large cakes, St. Patrick’s Day-themed cupcakes and linzer tart cookies for the Lutheran Christian Center.
During their visits to Bellhaven, the middle schoolers visit with the residents to play games or complete crafts.
“It feels really good to see the nursing home residents smiling because we have come to spend the day with them,” said sixth-grader Daisy Fiori.
“I really enjoy having the opportunity to visit with the elderly and help feed the less fortunate in our community,” added fellow sixth-grader Katie McGuire.
The school’s club, which is comprised of 20 middle school students, is advised by teacher Agnes Ntiri.
