DENNISVILLE — Dennis Township Middle School Student Government members spent the afternoon of Dec. 15 volunteering for the annual Historic Dennisville Christmas House Tour.
According to a release, students greeted guests in homes so that homeowners could give tours and chat with guests. They guided and welcomed patrons at the ticket station, and replenished refreshments at the United Methodist Church social hall.
For some, this is their third year volunteering for the house tour. They look forward to it each year.
Eighth graders Ethan Leith and Abby Dickinson were excited to spend their third year handling refreshments, while Avery Campbell was thrilled to spend another year at her favorite house, the Jonathan Crandall house on Petersburg Road, owned by Will Massey.
It’s a way for students to interact with community members and help with an evening for the town, and they get to know the families they meet.
Jack Connelly, president of the Dennisville Historic Homeowners Association, coordinated houses and locations in need of some student assistance.
Amanda Unkle, Student Government advisor, coordinated the students who attended.
