Enrichment & Access
Deerfield Academy
Inspired by their experience at the Round Square International Conference in Jordan, a group of Deerfield Academy students spearheaded the organization of a Round Square-style conference focused on hunger and homelessness in Franklin County with local schools: Greenfield High School, Frontier Regional High School, and Mohawk Trail Regional High School. The conference focused on local issues—such as hunger and poverty—that were shared across the county and what the schools could do together to address these issues. Including Deerfield students, total attendees numbered over 40; the students hope that the conference will occur annually and will continue to grow in numbers.
