Dylan Adams and Jeffrey Denaro collected socks for Friendly House in Worcester, MA for their Senior Project.  They set a goal of 500 pair of socks from the High School students. The class donating the most socks would win a pizza party.  A friendly competition developed between classes, and students and staff donated an impressive total of 1500 pairs of socks!
Thanks to everyone for their support in helping make this project such a success.  A special thanks Mrs. Petrelli’s class!
