City Woman Volunteers At Providence Middle School

Laurie Smith joined more than 320 people at Roger Williams Middle School.

On Friday, Aug. 3, Woonsocket resident Laurie Smith joined Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and more than 320 volunteers to transform Roger Williams Middle School in Providence - just in time for the start of the school year.

Taveras joined employee volunteers from Fidelity Investments and Serve Rhode Island, a HandsOn Netwrok local action center, in the third annual Transformation Day at his alma mater, Roger Williams Middle School. Volunteers completed close to 1,900 hours of service during this day-long effort, including landscaping, carpentry, painting, and other repairs to improve the overall physical environment of the school.
