Thousands learn through service

Ty Duffy explains to Clarkston School Board Trustee Kelli Horst the Academic Service Learning Project, “Ty’d with Love.” First graders at Independence Elementary, where the cancer survivor’s mother teaches,  completed projects including a penny drive for the Cancer Survivor Party.

Students, teachers, and parents gathered to celebrate a successful year of Academic Service Learning Projects, May 25, at Sashabaw Middle School.
More than 4,000 students worked on 49 projects this year, 30 at elementary schools and 19 at the secondary level.
“Every year, it’s been growing. It’s been tremendous,” said Radhika Issac, district coordinator on the ASL Advisory Board.
The students prepared presentations to share with parents and other commnity members about what they did and learned while completing the projects.
