Exploring Your School, Community, & Careers with PHLF—I

First- and second-grade students at the Environmental Charter School (309 S. Braddock Avenue) explored their school and neighborhood with PHLF staff and docents on January 8 and 16. The photo gallery below shows the program that included a neighborhood walk, school exploration, poetry writing, and mural-making. “Having the kids use our building as inspiration for poetry directly complemented our poetry unit,” noted one teacher. Funding from the McSwigan Family Foundation helps underwrite PHLF’s time in creating site-specific programs for area schools.
