Annual Leaf Raking Event

The weather cleared just in time on October 28th for Stafford’s annual leaf raking community service event. Over 250 students and staff went into the greater Rutland community to rake laws and beautify surrounding areas. Children Center pre-school students even geared up to rake leaves around their playground. When all was said and done lawns were raked for 26 seniors, the Chaffee Art Center, and some surrounding public parks. Each family received a fresh baked apple pie made from apples picked from a local orchard and prepared by our Culinary Arts program and a set of  Stafford Technical Center coffee mugs. Casella Waste Systems supported this wonderful event again by donating 500 bags and arranging for the disposal of the leaves.
