Bloom HS Students Partner With Chicago Bears In Community Service

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL — Bloom High School students showcased their commitment to community service during an inspiring event in partnership with the Chicago Bears Community Relations organization. The project, held on Friday, March 14, 2025, honored Women's History Month by supporting Housing Opportunities for Women, an organization dedicated to empowering women and fostering strong communities.

Students participated in an outdoor and indoor beautification project at 1305 Pitner Ave in Evanston, where they worked side by side with the Chicago Bears staff. Their tasks included staining an outdoor fence, painting communal spaces inside, and removing litter and debris to create a cleaner, more welcoming environment.

Division Coordinator Diane Oliver shared her enthusiasm, stating, “Community service gives Bloom students the opportunity to give back, which I believe is something we are all meant to do. It teaches empathy and helps students understand the lives and challenges others face. The experience is very humbling and transformational.”

Bloom’s Community Specialist, Ciara Noel, expressed her gratitude, noting, “We are incredibly thankful to the Chicago Bears Community Relations team. Their professionalism and the warm welcome extended to our students left a lasting impression. It was rewarding to see how much the students enjoyed helping the Housing Opportunities for Women organization—and every single one of them is already asking to come back!”

The event reflected Bloom High School’s broader mission of nurturing socially aware, empathetic students who are ready to engage with and improve their communities. Through experiences like this, Bloom students learn not only to be better citizens but also more compassionate individuals prepared for the world beyond high school.
