Combining Learning with a Good Cause
As its culminating project for this semester, the Upper School Community Service class is organizing a second all-School walk-a-thon, scheduled for Friday, April 26. This year’s class, led by teachers Dave Humphrey and Phoebe McVey, has also planned and supported three Prin Giving Days for Upper School, during which students and faculty volunteered at a range of institutions around St. Louis.
This final event provides the perfect opportunity to extend their reach through the entire School. Like the first walk-a-thon (held in October 2011), this one will support the Middle School renovations through pledges and sponsorships obtained by participants. Along with students, faculty, and staff, parents and friends of Principia are welcome to take part in the morning walk. The class has planned several other activities and surprises for students for the rest of the day!
