Community Service Through Squash

At Milton there are numerous opportunities to partake in community service like Community Service Day and weekly volunteering opportunities at a variety of local sites. Every day, we learn the value of hard work and caring for one another. One of the best ways to show our values and care for the community around us is through service. The weekend before Thanksgiving Break, fellow OBK Head Tucker Hamlin and I went to the annual SquashBusters Thanksgiving Fest. As captains of the varsity squash team, we, along with Lillie Simourian of Class I and Coach Morgan Poor, traveled into Boston to represent Milton. We spent three hours at the Greater Boston Food Bank with other squash players from ISL schools and Squashbusters. In the afternoon, we returned to the Northeastern University squash facilities to play a round robin tournament followed by a pizza party. The day was busy but as we headed back to campus, we felt a sense of accomplishment. It felt rewarding to put competition aside for one day so we could join together to help the community and to play squash.
