Ryan Gloyer Middle School volunteers clean up Callery
CALLERY — Just before students from Ryan Gloyer Middle School head out the door for the summer, they spread out into the communities of Butler County to spend the afternoon making the area a better place to live.
One of those communities is Callery, where a group of students from Gloyer arrived on Monday morning, May 22, for the Community Grown service project, in which seventh- and eighth-grade students from within the Seneca Valley School District gave back to the communities that raised them.
Monday’s activities are the culmination in a yearlong project by the district, which has worked with the nine municipalities within the area to determine pressing needs in each community. According to the district’s website, the goal of the project is to develop pride empathy, compassion, 21st century skills, and a connection to the community.
