Over two dozen Swampscott residents walked outside to find their cars shoveled out and walkways clear of snow after the walloping two weeks ago.

Swampscott Senior Center Assistant Director Sabrina Clopton and Swampscott High School Teacher Temi Bailey coordinate the program, fittingly titled “Snow Angels.” For more than a half decade, after every winter storm, groups of Swampscott High School students have braved the cold to help clear out walkways and shovel out cars for seniors.

The program is currently made up of students from the school’s Room of Color Club, an affinity group which supports students of color through mentorship, engagement and community initiatives, according to the Senior Center. Each year, the snow angels program seeks applicants who are looking for snow removal help.

The students are allowed to make their rounds as soon as the snow stops. They all use their personal time after school or on weekends to go from house-to-house. Students use their own shovels and scrapers and are responsible for their own transportation.

“It’s worked out really well,” said Clopton. “The kids do their best and take on as many homes as they can sustain.”

Clopton said the program means a tremendous amount to both sides.

“It’s nice knowing there’s an extra resource in town to help,” said Clopton. “It makes me feel really proud. It’s a lot of leadership they take on. I’m happy to help facilitate this.”

Clopton said that when the forecast looked bleak in weeks prior to the most recent winter surge, additional students reached out to try and help.

“It sets a good example at the high school for other students,” she said. “The kids appreciate having the opportunity to do something that helps the community.”

Student leader Noah Oubala said the program creates a sense of community.

“The small act of shoveling out someone’s car can brighten their day,” said Oubala. “Going back to the same addresses throughout different storms allows us to build relationships with the homeowners and it’s incredibly rewarding to see the smiles on their faces.”

For student Rayyan Asad, the gratitude shown by those who receive the help makes the hard work worth it.

“It means a lot to be able to help those in need, especially during this year’s big winter storm,” said Asad. “I think it means a lot to me because I used to see how my grandma would struggle to take care of the house in the cold weather.”
