  1. Expanding Capacity in the Service Learning Community Kelsey McPherson Kim Sullivan Blaine Cardali Our Project is designed to expose the students of the high school and junior high school to more community service opportunities. Our goal is to branch out to the junior high school and give incoming freshman (eighth graders) the opportunity of accumulating up to ten hours of community service that will count towards their community service requirement. Brunswick Junior High School 65 Columbia Avenue Brunswick, ME 04011-2999 Main Office: 319-1930 Guidance Office: 319-1932 Fax: 721-0602 Lisa Cushman John E. Paige Assistant Principal Principal November 5, 2007 Dear Mr. Bartlett: This morning Ms. Cushman and I met with three students from Brunswick High School (Kelsey McPherson, Kim Sullivan & Blaine Cardali) to listen to their presentation regarding the possibility of extending the service learning program, on a voluntary basis, to the 8th grade students at BJHS. Their presentation was well thought out and well articulated. It has our support. As a matter of fact, I was able to inform them that Rick Wilson had originally set up a program like this when he was a teacher here many years ago. Elements of his original program are still in place at BJHS so I have no doubt that this proposal will receive the support of the 8th grade teaching staff. In the near future, these students will be contacting you to discuss their proposal and, with your permission, make plans to receive Board approval. Should all that come to pass, they intend to meet with my 8th grade team leaders and make plans for informing our current 8th graders about the program. Sincerely, John E. Paige  “ Working together to provide an equitable, rigorous & personalized education.” Kelsey and Kim presenting at the school board meeting. Thank you to Mr. Paige, Ms. Cushman, Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Cooke, The Brunswick School Board and policy committee
