What is Service Learning at Crane?

Upper School students in Service Learning at Crane learn what it means to be a philanthropist. They examine successful service projects carried out by peers, and each section chooses and designs their own service projects. This year at Crane's annual Country Fair, Arin Pieramici, an 8th grader, decided that Crane should set up a Service Learning booth so that people could learn more about Crane's Service Learning program. Arin and some friends helped to design a SL Wheel of Fortune: "People would spin the wheel and whatever organization they landed on, we would tell them about it. We wanted lots of new families at Crane to learn about the Service Learning program and the organizations that we support. SL has been an important part of my experience in the Upper School and I wanted to spread the word to other kids so that they could get excited about it too."
