KSC Brings College to Winchester School

From Margaret Walsh, Honors Program:

The Winchester School was proud to hold its first annual College Awareness Day February 10. During College Awareness Day, led by Americorps VISTA volunteer Alex Manorek, Keene State College Students were on hand for lunch and conversation with elementary and middle school kids, emphasizing the importance of going to college. It was a day filled with different opportunities for children of all ages to engage in a discussion about college. Students from 5th-8th grade spoke with approximately 20 College volunteers during their lunch period to earn raffle tickets for assorted collegiate items. Mrs. Joslyn’s 3rd grade classroom hosted our College volunteers to color in the New Hampshire Goes to College Coloring books they received earlier in the day. Keene State students and faculty were represented very well throughout all the activities of College Awareness Day. Thank you to the College Honors Program, academic departments, and the KSC Community Service Office for an excellent day.
