Our second year of providing the elective course, Service Learning, provided three seniors opportunities to connect to their community. First, students researched needs within the community. From that research, they identified a topic with which they were most interested, partnered with a community member and created a plan to help their community. Each student created a project unique to their talents and interests. Each community partner was someone able to support the student’s project idea because of the community partner’s interests and expertise. As the classroom facilitator, I’d like to thank every person and/or business that showed interest in supporting our students as community partners. The students put in a lot of work, and I enjoyed watching their ideas bloom with their community partner’s guidance.

I sensed there was no changing her mind and that meant trouble for my patient.
