Swimmers rake leaves for senior citizens

The Heights High swim team spent the morning of Nov. 5 raking leaves for Cleveland Heights senior citizens. For the last several years, the team has worked on the project with Amy Jekins, supervisor of the Cleveland Heights Office on Aging, who identifies residents who could use the help. Samantha Espenschiel, Juliana Soreo and Madison Androsko (shown left to right in photo) participated in the project this year.

“It felt great to help,” Androsko said. “We know it is hard for some older people to do all that raking.” One grateful resident left cookies, beverages, and a note that read, "To all you lovely young people: the bit of goodies are all for you."
