SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS

THE MEMORY PROJECT Students learned about civil unrest in Uganda and worked in small groups to write, illustrate and bind children’s books. These books were sent to shelters in Uganda where children seek refuge.

MURAL CLUB Steinmetz Academic Center Students collaborated on a design to illustrate the administration’s chosen theme “Steinmetz students on the move.” Students then transferred and painted the design in the school hallway.

MURAL CLUB Hyde Park Academy Students collaborated on a design to honor Barack Obama’s influence in our country. The chosen theme was “CHANGE.” Students planned, designed, transferred, and painted their design to represent change in our lives and school. We’re starting on the second mural in the series this school year.

“ We are the change that we seek.” - Barack Obama (5’ x 11’)

KEEP CHICAGO CLEAN! Students painted their own designs for Chicago’s trash cans to remind everyone to keep our city clean.
