My daughter and I first volunteered at Horace-Mann and then at Cabot.   It was great to see how wonderful everything looked by the end of the day.  For those who didn’t get the chance to participate today, there are a bunch of schools having NewtonServes projects on May 3rd…click here for more info:  NewtonServes.
