New Silver Cord Award gives C-G-D students chance to embrace community service

               The spirit of volunteerism and community service is alive and well in the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows schools. Most people are familiar with the Peer Helper program that many C-G-D middle schoolers are involved in, through which students get the opportunity to engage in community service. Until recently, no similar programs really existed as students moved on to high school. However, this school year, a new program was instituted for freshmen through seniors that allows them to help others and give of themselves.
