The Charlestown Sandtown Connection (cSc) group was honored last month by the New Song Community Learning Center (NSCLC), the non-profit organization that operates the charter school, New Song Academy. Charlestown volunteers have been volunteering at the school since 2016. New Song held their first “Heroes” Awards at the June 2, 2023, breakfast for other businesses and organizations that support NSCLC. cSc was limited to eight people at the 7:30 a.m. breakfast.
Jayson Green, the NSCLC Executive Director presented the award on behalf of the many volunteers and for the generosity of Charlestown residents in answering the needs of New Song and the children. Donna Chesson, long-time volunteer, said “[I go for] the wonderful kids… and it’s only 31 stoplights from Charlestown.” Volunteers are always welcome.
