Service Learning

Our class is committed to supporting two programs of the Upper Arlington Schools:

  • Service Learning Program Funding
  • Leaving a Legacy -- Capstone Senior Projects

This is the first of these programs:

Service Learning Program

As part of our 50th class reunion, the Class of 1962 Reunion Committee asked a group of Classmates to explore ways to honor our class in a significant way.  The Legacy Committee realized that we Classmates have taken the values nurtured in the UA Schools and community and  have grown and contributed in ways that reflect that investment in excellence that the community of our youth instilled in us.  And fifty years later, we have a chance to pay forward.

Service Learning is a program that teaches students to care about their community through a personal connection with the people they help. Service Learning encourages students to use problem solving to help others in both their and other communities.

Given recent budget cuts, and without some financial support, UA teachers will not be able to continue Service Learning beyond the 2012 academic year.  The Class of 1962 has a wonderful opportunity to make sure that Service Learning remains a viable program in the UA schools.
