VOLUNTEERS: Joy to my heart

| April 29, 2026 1:00 AM

Reading Jack Freeman’s article, on Friday April 24, in the Local Section of the Press, about the Sandpoint High School students putting together 3 new benches for the Long Bridge, brought joy to my heart. 

There’s a particular kind of pride that can’t be taught in a classroom alone — it has to be experienced with your hands, your time, and your community. When young people volunteer to help build park benches for the local VFW, they’re doing more than assembling wood, metal and bolts; they’re building a sense of purpose.
