Puppet shows teach lessons
Students in Sara Rutledge’s applied learning strategies for the exceptional learner responded beyond expectation to Cathy Kist and her request for participation in the Pennsylvania Association for Individuals with Disabilities (PAID) youth ambassador program.
Volunteers spruce up grounds at Haida Manor

It may be cold and snowy outside, but some Cambria County students are still experiencing nature up close and personal, right in their classrooms.
Using it again | Penn Cambria students learn benefits of recycling
Winter often keeps students indoors and away from thoughts of the environment and nature. But, this is not the case for the Penn Cambria Intermediate (PCI) Communities in Schools of the Laurel Highlands After School Program. As part of Service Learning with Communities That Care and the Alternative Community Resource Program Family Center, fourth- and fifth-grade students at PCI recently learned about the benefits of recycling.
Workshop's focus was sustainable partnerships
The Southern Alleghenies Learn and Serve Alliance (SALSA) sponsored a service learning workshop earlier this month to explore the development of effective and sustainable service learning partnerships.
