Please allow me to thank the senior citizens of Rockport who opened their homes to members of the Rockport High School Class of 2012 on Friday, October 28, 2011 for our first ever “Seniors Helping Seniors” event. This was an opportunity for members of the senior class to do community service for community members who are unable to do so on their own and appreciated a helping hand. The students were all over town raking leaves, clipping bushes, removing air conditioners, removing screens, and cleaning out garages and sheds. Thank you to the Rockport Council on Aging, the Rockport Police Department, and the Rockport Department of Public Works for helping us to coordinate this inter-generational give back event. Look for us again next year as we try to make this an annual event. Again thank you for allowing the students into your homes!
