Students of Maspeth High School received recognition from a local lawmaker for their selfless work of volunteering in their community.
Assemblyman Brian Barnwell paid a visit to Maspeth High School on May 6 and presented proclamations to 12 students in the Making a Difference club, which is dedicated to cleaning up graffiti and helping out around the neighborhood.
“The city places unfair burdens on those who cannot shovel snow due to health reasons. While our office has done what we could in regard to shoveling snow, we need more volunteers,” Barnwell said. “This year, our office partnered with Maspeth High School through the coordination of Assistant Principal Jesse Pachter.”
