Fifth graders from Ms. Ferreira's Walnut Grove Elementary School class recently took part in a service learning assignment. Teams of five students partnered to perform a project which would benefit the community and instill a sense of civic duty and community service.
Last Saturday Paige Sellick, Brett Walsh, Jacob Prado, Sloan Liu and Ricky Howell met under the Main Street bridge to cover graffiti. It took about an hour and they also picked up trash in the area.
The students were required to research the project, write a paper about the topic, and then make an oral presentation about what they learned.
