Students from Greenhill School Volunteer at The Legacy at Preston Hollow

March 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Greenhill School has a Volunteer Day once a year where students visit and give their time to more than 25 different organizations. This year, 11 students and 2 teachers from Greenhill visited The Legacy at Preston Hollow, a family service-oriented community, for the first time.

The students spent the day delivering daily calendars and menus to each resident, distributing potted flowers throughout the community and participating in a heated game of Bingo with the residents.

“I have been hearing my students talking all day about how wonderful it has been connecting with the residents here at The Legacy,” said Becky Daniels, Greenhill teacher. “It is a treat for our kids to spend time and learn from seniors who have experienced so much life.”

“We are so lucky that Greenhill chose The Legacy this year as part of their volunteer project,” said Cheryl Weitz, volunteer coordinator, The Legacy at Preston Hollow. “Our residents love seeing new faces and getting to know people.”
