Students across the Cedar Valley are busy planning and implementing service learning projects.
Seniors at Don Bosco High School are developing reciprocal relationships with the residents of Friendship Village. The students visit the residents and become acquainted while participating in activities and then the residents will attend the fall play at Don Bosco High School. Another class at Don Bosco High School is producing a pet care handbook to give to elementary students. They will also make educational presentations regarding pet care to the elementary students.
Students at Central Middle School have visited Parkview Nursing Home and Rehab to help celebrate Halloween and play games.
The Do Something Clubs have bagged dog and cat food for the Cedar Bend Humane Society and Northeast Iowa Food Bank, written thank you letters to firefighters, made cards for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, cleaned litter from their campuses, and brought joy and laughter to residents of a retirement home.
We have six classes currently in the beginning stages of service-learning. There will be many more wonderful projects to share next month.
