GSHS Students Honored by Westmoreland County Food Bank T he Westmoreland County Food Bank recently honored the students of Mr. Anthony Greece and Mrs. Sherilyn Dallas-Stern’s classes from Greensburg Salem High School with the Volunteer Group of the Year Award. The students volunteer weekly to help sort and repack food, build boxes, and assist with other tasks to help the food bank staff. Devin Carter, Stephanie Susa, and Bailie Zilli sort items at the Westmoreland County Food Bank “Helping at the food bank has given our students the ability to work on a variety of employment skills in preparation for future employment opportunities,” said Mrs. Dallas- Stern. Work ethic, time management, organization and cooperation are just a few of the skills students develop through the course of their volunteer work. When student Devin Carter was asked what he enjoys most about volunteering, he reported, “I just like helping other people out and making a difference.” The students are proud of their work at the food bank and excited to receive the honor of Volunteer Group of the Year. “I have witnessed the teamwork among the students week after week at the food bank. They enjoy coming here, knowing they are making a difference,” stated Louise Wilhelm, Director of Volunteers and Food Drives. “They are willing to do whatever is asked of them. Their amazing staff takes the time to adapt to their student’s skills and makes sure the job is done right.” GSMS 2018! Kick Toward Education Camp Soles Washington D.C.
