What Service Learning Means to Me
"Service Learning has changed my life more than I could have ever expected! So much is said about the student’s lives being changed, but I think my life has been changed even more. Each time I see a student get excited about a project, feel great about themselves and become more engaged in school; how can that not have a profound effect on me? Each time a student is changed it changes me a little too and so I have hundreds of life changes each year. My DAEP students make me feel so lucky each day that I get to share our Service Learning experiences with them. The mutual respect that my students and I gain from our projects is one of the greatest honors I could ever receive. To be a part of the incredible collaborative efforts of our school district, our community, our churches and our businesses for our student’s projects has made me so proud to live in Georgetown, Texas. I have the best job in the world!"
Zelinda Richards, Kelly Smith and myself have just been named the Partners in Education (PIE) GISD Partners of the Year!!! It is for going above and beyond for the students in Georgetown. We are sharing the award for Eagle Locker. It is a HUGE honor here in Georgetown!"
