Jersey Goes

Twelve MDHS students (along with 15 alumni) accompanied Mrs. Donna Milana, Mrs. JoAnn D’Anton, Mrs. Sue Gill, Mrs. Madeline Kinloch and Mrs. Dina Maroukis to the Dominican Republic this summer as part of Jersey Goes (Group of Extraordinary Students.) They spent a total of ten days building three houses for the Village Mountain Mission group. They dug foundations, built and hung new doors and windows, put on roofs and installed concrete floors. They purchased a new box spring and mattress, dishes, glasses, and silverware for each family. They put their faith into action by working extremely hard and long in an unbelievably hot and buggy climate for people who so desperately needed their help. The students were: Seniors Sean Gill, Allison Heschle, Victoria Cifarelli, Kassia Johnson and Juniors Kelly Milana, Jackie Senos, Sydney Martin, Ronnie Gaboury, George Bardis, Hallie Papiernik, Gabby Brown, and Kelly Faxon. Class of 2011 alumni included: Kelsey Allcorn,, Michelle Maddatu, Zach Hynoski, Pauline Dabrowski, Nick Oleck, Summer Socha and Kelly Klink.
