Mincing the clove

There were quite a few firsts bringing a finale to this school year. With graduation commencement ceremonies drawing to a close last week, it’s always assuring to know that the graduating classes of 2014 will leave behind a legacy that no Gilroy students ever have. Combined, graduates from Gilroy High School, Christopher High School and Mt. Madonna Continuation School contributed more than 50,000 volunteer community service hours. Setting the groundwork for youth community involvement is a great way to fill a need with volunteer organizations as well as provide a foundation of stewardship, giving everything from nonprofits, service groups and churches an extra helping hand. Kudos to a class of young volunteers.
