When it comes to summer activities, students have many options. Nonetheless, many students choose to work in order to gain experience and make some extra money. There are many places to work in the summer such as camps, restaurants and at the beach. Here are a few places some Staples students are working this summer.

Addison Moore ’23 has been working at the Westport Library Cafe for almost a year and will continue the job this summer. Moore not only serves customers, but also completes tasks to make sure the cafe stays organized.

“I make coffees, cold brews, teas and everything in between,” Moore said. “I also have to regularly restock, make drinks for later and count the cash at the end of the day.”

GIANNA AMATUZZI has a paid internship with the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, created for Catherine Hubbard, who passed away in the Sandy Hook shooting.

Gianna Amatuzzi ’24 will spend her summer working at the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. Currently, Amatuzzi is on the sanctuary’s Junior Executive Board and is looking forward to taking her involvement to a higher level. Amatuzzi will be a counselor at the sanctuary’s annual summer camp, as well as help plan other events that the sanctuary hosts yearly.

“[I will] work with the head of the sanctuary to develop upcoming events and programming,” Amatuzzi said, “[such as] help organize [the] annual ‘Catherine’s Butter y Party’ event, a birthday remembrance for Catherine and an annual celebration of the sanctuary’s accomplishments.”
