SOUTHBRIDGE — Receiver/Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Villar and Principal Kelly Gelineau wish to thank and recognize Eagle Scout Peyton Sanborn, whose Eagle Scout service project has benefited students at Eastford Road School.
Students were welcomed back to school on Aug. 28 and 29 and explored a renovated blacktop activity space. The new blacktop space includes games such as Hopscotch and Four Square, alphabet letter paths, and more.
Sanborn began efforts to improve the play space at Eastford Road School in March. Sanborn raised funds for renovation and managed other Scouts who assisted.
Service projects are a capstone to a Scout’s ascension to Eagle, Scouting’s highest rank. Service projects allow Scouts to acquire and demonstrate leadership skills while improving their communities. About 6 percent of all Scouts reach the rank of Eagle.
“On behalf of the entire District, I want to thank Peyton for her dedication and leadership, which will benefit Eastford Road School for years to come,” said Receiver/Superintendent Dr. Villar. “This new outdoor activity space provides a great outdoor atmosphere for our students to learn and play.”
