Yale Day of Service

Many of our classmates took leadership roles with regard to the Yale Day of Service.



One classmate, Darcy Troy Pollock, kicked things off a bit early, with a project she spearheaded on May 2, when Yale alums joined forces with Big Sunday volunteers and P.S. Arts to create an arts fair for the students of Will Rogers Elementary, a Title One public school. Some 100 students enjoyed making sock puppets, painting rocks, creating mobiles, getting their faces painted and much more. It was a big boost for these children, who recently lost a beloved principal, and an incredibly fund day for all! (P.S. Arts ia a non-profit organization dedicated to improving children's lives by restoring arts education to underserved public schools.)

I would love to hear how people got involved on the Yale Day of Service.

Yale Day of Service

May 15 is the worldwide Yale Day of Service. You can visit the Day of Service website at http://www.yaledayofservice.org/ to see what projects are taking place near you.

I would love to hear about any projects that are being headed up by members of the Class of 1987.
