For the past couple of months, eighth grade students at North Junior High School have been busy working on a service learning project that has them collecting books for Little Husky World and the Jacob Andrew Schriber Ball Wish Fund. Tomorrow, students will host a ceremony where they will explain the project and display the large amount of books collected.
The project, “HUSKIES: Behind the Books,†was for eighth grade students at North Junior High and challenged them to collect as many books as possible to give to the early childhood program and the Jacob Ball Wish Fund. In addition to collecting books, students created resources such as lesson plans, bookmarks, games, CDs with book recordings, videos and much more to help the younger students.
Background:
The Jacob Andrew Schriber Ball Wish Fund was established in spring of 2013, when Jacob Ball passed away at the young age of 12. This EVSC Foundation fund was established to grant wishes of EVSC special education teachers to give their students experiences that give them joy while they learn useful life skills.
