Chestnut Hill College (CHC) and Our Mother of Consolation (OMC) celebrated Earth Day with "Hands Across Chestnut Hill," a collaborative event showcasing sustainability projects created by OMC students and their CHC mentors.
The event, made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Connelly Foundation, featured a variety of projects, including poster boards, poems, crafts, paintings, handprint illustrations, photo collages, a mural promoting recycling, and even a fourth-grade project involving students growing their own chia pets. These projects were the result of a mentorship program funded by the grant, which aims to enhance OMC students' skills in reading, writing, STEM and critical thinking.
"Hands Across Chestnut Hill" also helped raise funds for the rebuilding of OMC, which tragically burned down in a fire in March 2023. Since then, CHC has provided a haven for OMC students to continue their education, fostering an extensive partnership that has included collaboration on several events throughout the year.
