Boston's Children Hospital

Last month, the GNB Voc-Tech student mentors delivered the byproduct of their hard work from their first annual community service project. The student mentors are involved and want to support the community, and their first task was gathering a collection of child pajamas to donate to Boston Children’s Hospital Oncology unit. Student Mentors from all grades teamed up with their Mentees to go out and collect over 600 pajamas for the Boston Children’s Hospital. The Mentor program made the project a friendly competition and rewarded student mentors and mentee teams. Those that competed and brought in the most pajamas had a chance to win tickets to the Celtics vs. Nuggets game on December 6, 2019. This competition not only includes collecting the most pajamas, but also demonstrating exemplary behavior, grades, and attendance. The pajamas were delivered on December 6 to Boston Children’s Hospital before the Celtics game.
