Students Serving
Students
The Springfield College Center for Service and Leadership and the Humanics in Action Club recently delivered more than 200 fire-safety kits to Rebecca M. Johnson Elementary School, and 100 incentive
kits to both Elias Brookings Elementary School and William N. DeBerry Elementary School. The fire-safety kits (top right) include washcloths, emergency whistles, water bottles, granola bars, a face mask, soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste, as well as donated items from the Springfield Fire Department,
including a fire
hat and a fire-
safety booklet. The intention behind the fire-safety kits is that, in an emergency,
the kids could grab the bag and have emergency supplies. The incentive kits (bottom right) include an activity book, notebook, crayons, slime, DIY slap bracelets, positive notes, and erasers.
Fatal Rewards
The Holyoke Community College Theater Department’s fall 2020 production, a live-streamed virtual play called “Fatal Fisticuffs,” won two awards at this year’s Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. The original work, written by HCC alumnus Tom Roche, was recognized with a merit award
for innovation in digital theater. HCC student Nanette Mendieta of Holyoke won an award for excellence in stage management. Pictured: HCC Theater Professor Tim Cochran, right, directs
