Caring 4 Cameroon
At CCHS, our students value service for and with others on both a local and international level. In 2014, Daria Pietropaolo joined the two types of service by working locally for an international cause. Daria Pietropaolo met with some friends to learn from a priest visiting from Cameroon about the struggles of a secondary school located in the remote and impoverished region of northern Cameroon. From that meeting, Daria, along with Caroline Zacharchuk of Westford Academy and Emma Tonies of Carlisle Public Schools, decided to join forces with Fr. Augustin Vondou to form Caring 4 Cameroon, an organization with a mission to provide school supplies, sports equipment and academic scholarships for these students. The efforts and energy of this founding team quickly expanded over the past two years under the mentorship of Linda Tonies and the volunteer efforts from a variety of other local students who became involved in Caring 4 Cameroon fundraising, including the CCHS Interact Club, Carlisle Middle School Early Act Club, and support from Westford Academy students.
Daria and Caroline have been able to mentor Emma Tonies and Kiley Pietropaolo as they bring a unique middle school perspective to the organization. The group’s work has allowed the school to grow both student population and quality of study. For more information please visit Caring 4 Cameroon’s Facebook page or email them at caring4cameroon@gmail.com.

Chorus Concert
The recent Chorus Concert was a great success as the students performed beautifully. Our chorus teacher, Ms. Deborah Smith, had this to say, "this was not your run-of-the-mill Chorus concert, as you can see by the accompanying pictures." The pictures of the very animated singers are from our Beauty and thMedleyt medley. The ones with purple lighting are from, you guessed it, Purple Rain. Barry Singer (accompanist) and I did the arrangement featured in the video. The guitarist is Will Beakley, from Orchestra and Jazz Band, and the soloists are Victoria Blaides, '17, and Adam Riley, '19. All the kids really outdid themselves that night. I am so proud of them!"

CCHS Student Named to Girls Scouts Board of Directors
Sarah Hutchinson was recently appointed to the Board of Directors for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. Her appointment to the prestigious position is impressive as she is 1 of only 4 who are selected out of a large field of applicants. A very impressive young lady. Congratulations, Sarah.
My name is Sarah Hutchinson, and I am a junior at CCHS. Recently, I was selected to serve a one-year term as a voting member on the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Board of Directors as one of four girl board members.
As a girl member, I represent 35,000 other girls from Eastern Massachusetts by bringing the girl’s perspective and insight to the Board. Over the course of the coming year, it is my job to help improve Girl Scouting to give girls of all ages and backgrounds interesting and relevant opportunities.
Girl Board members apply in January, and are selected through a rigorous process including written essays, recommendations, a resume, and a panel interview. After being selected, I was voted in at the Annual Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Board Meeting on May 10, and will prepare for and attend meetings throughout the coming year.
I am a third-generation Girl Scout, and have been in Girl Scouting since Kindergarten. In elementary school, I earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award with my group by conducting the first food drive for children’s snack bags at OpenTable. This project was so successful that OpenTable has continued these drives for the past six years to ensure that all children in the community have healthy snacks for school. During middle school, I earned the Girl Scout Silver Award by creating the Passport to Concord Natural Lands. By bringing together two non-profits, the town government, and two state agencies, I researched and produced a resource for families to explore local natural spaces and to encourage outdoor engagement in the community. This publication is available on the town’s website. Currently, I am working towards my Girl Scout Gold Award with The Children’s Room, a non-profit that offers peers support to teens, children and families who have had an immediate family member die. I am developing a training curriculum to prepare grieving teens to volunteer in a new program that will help grieving children cope effectively with their losses. Teens in the program will also connect with The Children’s Room, give back to an organization that has helped them, and gain valuable leadership skills.
Girl Scouts offers these awards and other opportunities to help girls develop and exercise leadership skills and to discover, connect and take action in their communities to make the world a better place. It is an honor to have been selected as a girl member of the Board. I am looking forward to serving in the coming year to help improve and make more accessible the opportunities for girls so they can fully benefit from the Girl Scouting experience.
