Every two weeks,
four service members arrive to spend the day helping students in
various classrooms, rotating to all different grade levels as part of
the Adopt-A-School Program. They may start the day with P.E. teacher
Mary Lou Baranowski-Drews and her musical “Movin’
with Mary Lou” morning P.E. class or visit other classes
during English or Math. Some service members return year-after-year to visit the students and are amazed at the technology used in the classrooms.
New this school year will be a sign-in wall, which includes a map of the United States and North America, where the service members will sign in and show where they are from. This display will be posted at the end of the year Multi-Cultural Fair showing the parents and community how Lindbergh Schweitzer provides opportunities for student engagement with these heroes who arrive from all over the country to serve in the military.
Lindbergh Schweitzer’s Magnet focus is Service Learning, and what better examples and role models than these military heroes!
