College holds expo | 17 groups highlight service-learning projects
Libraries, prisons, sign-language camps, transportation services and after-school programs in creative thinking – all were featured in the first Service Learning Exposition sponsored by the service-learning committee at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson.
Puppet shows teach lessons
Students in Sara Rutledge’s applied learning strategies for the exceptional learner responded beyond expectation to Cathy Kist and her request for participation in the Pennsylvania Association for Individuals with Disabilities (PAID) youth ambassador program.
Volunteers spruce up grounds at Haida Manor
It is said that April showers bring May flowers, and that they did. The Penn’s Woods Council, Boy Scouts of America teamed up with Annette Dean (project director) and Jen Raehl of Communities in Schools (CIS) to complete a service-learning project with Cambria Heights Middle School pupils.
Bedford students help animals in need
Through the 21st Century After-School program, area school students involved in service learning gave back to the community and gained a Furever experience.
A poplar plan | Somerset Conservation District to plant 1 million trees
A new concept is taking root at the Somerset Conservation District. A program called “One Million Trees” is being pursued, in which 1 million hybrid poplar trees will be planted on previously strip-mined lands over a period of 10 years.
Collegians' service projects assist them in interacting with others
Medical imaging students at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson are accustomed to visiting the Ebensburg Center for mentally handicapped persons as a learning requirement and a community service project.
Hands-on nature studies help students in PSSA tests
It may be cold and snowy outside, but some Cambria County students are still experiencing nature up close and personal, right in their classrooms.
Using it again | Penn Cambria students learn benefits of recycling
Winter often keeps students indoors and away from thoughts of the environment and nature. But, this is not the case for the Penn Cambria Intermediate (PCI) Communities in Schools of the Laurel Highlands After School Program. As part of Service Learning with Communities That Care and the Alternative Community Resource Program Family Center, fourth- and fifth-grade students at PCI recently learned about the benefits of recycling.
Workshop's focus was sustainable partnerships
The Southern Alleghenies Learn and Serve Alliance (SALSA) sponsored a service learning workshop earlier this month to explore the development of effective and sustainable service learning partnerships.
