Adopt-A-Street

	The after school program proudly poses in front of the Adopt-A-Street sign outside of the Friendship House building.  The youth march the 800-1200 blocks of Perry, Monroe, and Madison every six-eight weeks, cleaning up their neighborhood.  The children feel a sense of community belonging and pride.

Heifer International's Read-to-Feed Program gave students the chance to implement an ordinary, daily activity into a service-learning project.  The project introduces children to giving the gift of livestock to needy families across the globe.  The children read a number of books and sponsors pledged money per book.  During one "Read-a-Thon," students from North Minster Presbyterian Church visited and read with the children. As an end result to the project, the youth used their math skills and their knowledge of animals and the animals' benefits to families to buy and send one llama, a trio of rabbits, and some ducks and geese to those in need.
