Edward Little High School junior Jacob Dubay, 17, shares a laugh with Mae Burgess after Burgess accidentally broke the homemade volleyball net at Clover Living Center in Auburn on Friday. Dubay, Bella Coulombe, back right, and classmates from their high school mentor group played balloon volleyball with residents of the assisted living center during EL Gives, a school-wide community service day. “We wanted to give back to the community and say thank you,” junior Calla Crockett said. “Times like this are appreciated and allow us to hang out with people we don’t normally spend time with,” Gage Doucette said. Students from EL helped with projects at more than 30 locations in Lewiston and Auburn. Also playing volleyball are Anita Gilbert, far right, Rita Poulin and EL junior Nick Davis, seated at left.
