WOODSTOCK — During the holidays 66 Woodstock Academy students (34 of them National Honor Society members)  volunteered as bell ringers for the Salvation Army. 

The students worked one- to three-hour shifts for a total of 267 hours, earning Woodstock Academy the honor of Most Hours Served at the organization’s “Thank You” party where sophomores Roxanne Garceau and Shai-lin Gothreau, both of Woodstock, accepted the award on behalf of the Academy. 

“The students provide a vital service by manning the kettles, a need that would go largely unmet were it not for the service of the students from WA and other area schools.” said adviser and science teacher Jackie Rose. 

“Of about 160 students who volunteered, 66 were Academy kids, which makes me very proud!”
