In the past, hundreds of St. Lawrence students have cared enough about their community to: · help the elderly prepare for the winter by raking lawns, cleaning and putting up storm windows, cleaning and re-organizing garages… and performing a host of other jobs needed by the elderly · paint public fences and playground equipment · clear brush and debris from public parks and walkways · re-gravel school playgrounds
