Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School student representative Coy W., 8A, has been nominated as an ambassador to represent Melrose at Project 351 on January 14, 2012 at the Massachusetts State House.  Governor Deval Patrick, Honorary Chair of Project 351, will host a day of dialogue, service learning, and community impact in Boston.  Coy will be joining other eighth-grade middle school students from the 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for this community service event.  Project 351 student ambassadors will gain leadership skills, create impact in the lives of thousands of citizens, and engage directly with Governor Patrick on topics of interest to them and their peers.  Project 351 is a day of community service, and it is staffed by a team of volunteers and supported by a coalition of leading community service organizations and non-profits including Boston Cares, City Year, Citizens Schools, and Cradles to Crayons.  For more information, contact Ms. Carolyn Casey at carolynm.casey@gmail.com.  Congratulations to Coy!
