A Churchill High School Hero

Churchill High School Senior Sam Sherker going above and beyond community service hours to become a community hero. In a recent Special Hockey Tournament in Laurel, Maryland, Sam volunteered for three days in a row to skate with the Cheetahs.  Every kid that skated with Sam left the ice with a smile on their face. 


The Washington Post:  Churchill's Sam Sherker volunteers with Montgomery Cheetahs Special Hockey program

 ...It's a passion he began sharing with the Montgomery Cheetahs Special Hockey program four years ago. As so many of the team's mentors do, Sherker needed to fulfill community service hours. Every Saturday morning Sherker joins kids with developmental disabilities as they lace up their skates, don their Cheetah sweaters and take to the ice for practice. High school players like Sherker skate with the kids, participate in the drills and help serve as on-ice assistants during games...

...At a recent hockey tournament in Laurel, with Sherker holding him from behind, Arjun skated the entire game. The smile rarely left his face. "It's so uplifting to see these kids come from scratch and gain interest in something I love," Sherker said. "It's a shared love between us."
