The work Doane Stuart students are doing to help childhood hunger in our community was recently highlighted in this weekend’s Troy Record online. Special thank you to Emma Schillinger ’16 of Loudonville and Amelia Koethen, Community Service Club Advisor for their leadership and dedication to this cause. Read the story below:

Earlier in the year, Mrs. Garrison’s second grade class also led a Lower School chapel on childhood hunger. They continue to work throughout the year with Conserns-U of Rensselaer, collecting grocery bags that will be used by the families who visit the food pantry.

Community service is an integral part of the Doane Stuart experience. At all grade levels, students learn the importance of helping those in need in their communities.
