Smithfield Youth Council reports fall and winter activities, leadership for 2024–25
Summary
The Smithfield Youth Council presented its 2024–25 student leadership roster and summarized fundraising and community events including car washes, haunted hallways, a nursing-home craft table and a 'drop and shop' event for parents.
Kai Gaffney, chairperson of the Smithfield Youth Council, and Reece Rossi, vice chairperson, presented the council's leadership slate for the 2024–25 term and summarized recent activities.
The student leadership board includes Kai Gaffney (chair), Reece Rossi (vice chair), Benjamin Toma (secretary), Courtney Wakeham (media chair), and Sofia Matassa (treasurer). The Youth Council held two car washes over the summer, a second-annual "Haunted Hallways" event in the fall, a craft table at a community Storyland event where students made cards for a nursing home, and a December "drop and shop" at Pleasantview Elementary School that provided short-term childcare and crafts for children while parents shopped. The council raised funds to support future events and used social media (Instagram and Facebook) to publicize activities.
Council members thanked the students and asked that staff be notified when the Youth Council holds public events so the town can coordinate outreach and logistics.
