Manchester Township High School (MTHS) students from the National Honor Society (NHS) and Student Government Association (SGA) volunteered their time today to conduct a Technology 101 session at Crestwood Village 5 in Whiting, NJ.
It was a packed house as the appreciative residents joined Manchester's students in Hilltop Hall thanks to Judy Noonan, the confidential aide to Township Mayor Robert Arace. Judy partnered with the Manchester Township School District for the Crestwood community to connect with Manchester's students in this way. Residents came to the clubhouse with technology in hand and plenty of questions as the students worked to troubleshoot their technology needs.
The residents rotated through, meeting for approximately 30-minute sessions, where the students helped to answer residents' questions about their devices, settings, use, social media, email, and more. MTHS Guidance Counselor Dana Simonelli brought the students to Crestwood and provided additional support to the residents, and students, as they worked together to help solve basic technology issues.
Those Manchester communities who have not had the chance to experience Technology 101 assistance and want to coordinate for the 2024-25 school year, please reach out to Mrs. Silvestri at dsilvestri@mtschools.org. We look forward to connecting our students with the community in this way again during the next school year!
