Helping Hands

 

The students and faculty of Mansfield High School take an active role in the community, helping to raise funds and awareness of the many charitable organizations both locally and nationally.

Here are a few of the many projects they are involved in.

Two Mansfield women named Unsung Heroines of 2010

Mansfield News

May 18, 2010

Mansfield

     The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women has announced its 100 Unsung Heroines of 2010. These women, chosen from hundreds of nominations this year, come from cities and towns across the Commonwealth and each will be recognized for their outstanding contributions to their organizations and communities in a ceremony on Wednesday, May 19, from 1 to 4 p.m., in the Great Hall at the State House in Boston.

     The Unsung Heroines are women who don't make the news, but make the difference. They are the women who use their time, talent and enthusiasm to enrich the lives of others and make a difference in their neighborhoods, cities and towns. They are mentors, volunteers and innovators who do what needs to be done without expectations of recognition or gratitude. These women are the glue that keeps a community together and every community has them.

     The ceremony will include a program emceed by NewsCenter 5's Liz Brunner acknowledging each of the one hundred 2010 Unsung Heroines followed by a group photograph on the Grand Staircase and a Just Desserts reception.

     This year's honorees include Mansfield residents Ellie Lea; a teacher in the science department at MHS and Kimberly Piro.

     Honorees will be featured in an event program available to all in attendance.

The Mission is the ultimate goal of Invisible Children. It is the resources, skills, and funds that hit the ground in Uganda. These resources will provide health, safety and education for the children of Northern Uganda who are affected by this 20-year-long war. It is our belief that we need to live for more, because the invisible children need more to live.
