Kara Shelton, AmeriCorps Mentor at Wright Charter School
This Spring at Wright Charter's After-School Program, the students are preparing Service Learning Projects. Students actively engage in organizing a community service project that integrates academic learning.
The 1st/2nd grade class is holding a recycled can and bottle drive in the school. The students are in charge of advertising the drive and adding the cans.
The 2nd/3rd grade class is hosting a clothing drive to help Sonoma County families in need.
The 4th grade class are hosting a car wash during Wright School's Open House to raise money for the local animal shelter.
The 4th/5th grade class are organizing a movie night to support the local animal shelter.
The 6th/7th grade class have reached out to local businesses to be able to throw an Ice Cream Social, also in support of the local animal shelter.
All the classes are actively involved in choosing, preparing and running their projects. All the students are excited to help out their larger community!
