Westwood Elementary Counselor Barbara Gruener and Westwood Principal Lynn Hobratschk attended a workshop with Kaye in Washington DC recently.
It was Gruener and Hobratschk that told Kaye about Windsong’s project.
Students in Autumn Bockart and Jermaine Sonnier’s classes put together a feed the homeless project after reading children’s book Maniac Magee.
“At Cathryn Berger Kaye’s request, I sent her the eLook article and now Windsong is featured in an article by the expert." Here's the link
“You have to be really creative in the younger grades to create service-learning projects that work and keep service learning alive in the schools,” Gruener said. “Congrats to Autumn and Jermaine for a job well done!”
