Thanks for the Welcome!
Hi Folks,
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I direct the Service Learning program at The Haverford School, and independent boys school in a western suburb of Philadelphia. I work with students, teachers and parents helping to integrate service into the classrooms and curriculum here at Haverford, as well as facilitate activities JrK thru 12th grade.
I'm eager to see what you're all about here and excited to be part of an ongoing dialogue about young people and active citizenship!

I was wondering if that was the word being used there! That's such a tough word for kids of that age--what a great example of how our use of language helps them adopt it earlier than they might. I just had this conversation with a teacher last week.…
I have a whole class of wonderful young writers. One comment this child wrote was about being balanced. As a PYP candidate school balanced is one of our values. This child understood this concept. Balancing life & being a balanced person. Our learne…
Wow! I think I need to take some time to absorb how selfless this young child is. This is truly one of the most spectacular and inspirational pieces of writing that I have ever seen from a young student, especially a 6 year old! Thanks for sharing t…
Carolyn, this is an incredible story that I will be sharing with my students tomorrow! A food drive is a concept that students of all ages can understand and connect to, so it's a wonderful idea as an in-school service project. Congratulations to yo…
Congratulations on a job well done! I'd love to hear from other schools who did drives like this....wouldn't it be something to keep track of the collective "good" that was done through food drives inside of schools this year? It's always wonderful…
"I would like Santa to look after the people..." Wow. That pulls my heartstrings! Such an engaging assignment for them Nina, and it's also a beautiful way to assess their developing writing skills too.
Can First Graders work to make a difference? I've seen it! In our school (50% free/reduced lunch population), my 20 first graders overwhelmed the Deck the Halls for the Hungry project at our school.
How did this happen? Just a few sentences a day a…
This child wrote quietly for 40 minutes. It hasn't been edited yet and will be by the child. I was blown away by the content. I sure this child will grow up to make a difference! Cheers Nina
