Capture CANDID moments and send them to us. By candid we mean non-posed....but, we'll take posed ones too
Student organizations definitely deserve some love: help us gather memories of meetings, practices or virtual events.

If you or a parent you know takes pictures at student events, please email us.

We want to feature any students who are doing something awesome!

AJ Robbins Thanksgiving for All:
Helping others through difficult times has never been more important than now. There are thousands of families in our own and neighboring communities who are struggling to put food on their family table. Many places that typically fill this need have cancelled for this year. The hole needs to be filled. AJ was great at filling the hole on Thanksgiving Day High School football games and now he is doing it where it really makes a difference.
Together we can try to bring peace and happiness to these families on Thanksgiving Day by providing the necessities for a meal to celebrate.
The AJ Robbins Memorial Foundation will make an initial gift of $2000 to support this effort.
As a guide, a family of four basket will cost approximately $50. We would like to try to make at least 250 baskets thus requiring around $10,000. We have shoppers, basket assemblers and delivery people. Donations in ANY amount – the cost of a can of corn, the cost of a bag of potatoes, the cost of a turkey, the sponsoring of a single family of 4 or more are all welcomed and sincerely appreciated.
You can donate by check made out to AJ Robbins Memorial Fund and mailed to:
AJ Robbins Memorial Foundation
P.O. Box 495
Lunenburg MA 01462
Or online using a credit card following the link below
ALL the money will go to buying food. The foundation is a registered 501c3. Additionally, if you would like to volunteer your time in any way to this wonderful event, please call 508-735-5764. The more the merrier and it is a kid friendly environment that will provide them a strong example of doing good for others.
TOGETHER we can make a positive difference in people’s lives.
