Fox Lane Community Volunteer Day

The Suzanne Grant Foundation, along with Fox Lane High School, has created an initiative focused on our students and our local community.

Suzanne was about many things. At the top of that list was volunteerism. For those of you fortunate enough to know Suzanne, you'll recall the countless hours she spent in support of our schools and our local not-for-profit organizations. She volunteered her time to help our town, our neighbors, friends, and strangers. Giving back was part of her life.

Beginning in May 2022, Fox Lane Community Volunteer Day was established as a permanent part of the school calendar. Fox Lane High School, with support from The Suzanne Grant Foundation, dedicates one school day for the Junior class as a day of volunteerism and learning in our local community. Organizations such as The Boys and Girls Club, The Mt Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry, Neighbors Link, Westmoreland Sanctuary, 914 Cares, our five elementary schools, and many others participate in the program and identify priority projects that are addressed by teams of Fox Lane students. Each student in the junior class, along with teachers who have also volunteered, has a choice of where they would like to spend their time that day. Together, we create indoor and outdoor volunteer opportunities for hundreds of students, and address needed priorities for over 20 different local organizations.  We all gather back at school at the end of the day to share experiences, accomplishments, and a food truck feast!
