Our Sisters' School

After meeting with Hillary Parker at Our Sisters' School (a private independent middle school in New Bedford), we've decided to team up on a volunteer basis. Coach Briana Blood, with a little help from me, will be volunteering one day a week for at least 12 weeks to work with the girls that go to school there. They opened in 2008 and have a total of 53 students in 4 grades. I got a tour today and they're doing some great things that New Bedford Community Rowing would be happy to be a part of.

Hopefully we'll also set up something similar with Nativity Prep to work with the boys as well. They've been open a bit longer (10 years) but it's also a private middle school. As you all know, NBCR relies heavily on fundraising and volunteers, and so do these schools. We know all too well how important local support is so we're trying to do our part in giving back to the wonderful community of New Bedford. If you don't volunteer in your community, go out and find a cause to support! There are so many in need!
