  • Columbus School for Girls Spotlight on Service Learning
    Columbus School for Girls Forte et Gratum Spotlight on Service Learning AUTUMN 2015 Forte et Gratum AUTUMN 2015 IN THIS ISSUE LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL SECOND ANNUAL SCHOLARS GALA A SUCCESS SIGNIFICANTLY CSG STAFF NEWS COLLEGE DESTINATIONS ALUMNAE WEEKEND COMMENCEMENT CLASS NEWS SERVICE LEARNING CONGRATULATIONS AND SYMPATHIES THE LEGACY OF THE LANDMARK CAMPAIGN ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL JENNIFER M. CICCARELLI “Find a need and fill it” Significantly CSG Ruth Stafford Peale’s simple yet profound directive has been embraced by generations of CSG students. When perusing Meditations of the Heart, which outlines All School programs dating back to 1908, one finds interfaith The PYC Treehouse Dedication services dedicated to serving others. Although the notion of service has changed over time, it could not be more important than it is today. As Gregory Smith and David Sobel explain in the Spring 2013 issue of Independent School magazine, making connections between that which occurs in classrooms and the lives students lead in their communities is crucial not only to the lives of our students, but also to the world in which we live. Acknowledging that US citizens have become more isolated from one another over the past several decades, Smith and Sobel suggest that “…community-based learning can serve as one antidote to this isolation by taking young people into neighborhoods, workplaces, agencies, and city council meetings where they can interact with adults and see themselves as fellow citizens with shared responsibilities…” For this reason and others, Columbus School for Girls provides many opportunities for students to work in the Columbus community and beyond, where they identify and seek to solve problems.
