Giving back to and being an active participant in our community is an important part of the Westmoreland Jr./Sr. High School Student Council’s mission.

On November 8, the Student Council fulfilled its mission by bringing students and seniors together.  Seniors playing Bingo

Like it does every school year, the Student Council sponsored “Senior Citizens Bingo” in the Jr./Sr. High School Library. Around 20 seniors attended.

Student council members and other student volunteers called the winning numbers for several games of bingo. They also served refreshments.

“We have been doing ‘Senior Citizens Bingo’ for several years,” Mr. Pilat, Student Council co-advisor, said. “It’s a great way for our students to connect with many of our seniors – the pillars of our community. They certainly look forward to all of our events at school.”

Each senior fortunate enough to win was awarded with a gift card.

The Student Council will sponsor another “Senior Citizens Bingo” and a “Senior Citizens Prom” later this school year.
