Making a Difference Locally and Internationally

Students led our assembly today, introducing several innovative and philanthropic ideas to the entire school and our staff.  Two children introduced a fundraiser they have been organizing with Mrs. West, "Change for Children's."  We will be collecting change throughout the month of February to support Children's Hospital in Boston, a place many of our students and family members have called home for a shorter or longer period of time.


Another group of children presented their ideas for a new set of basketball hoops.  Their work has included collecting over 100 signatures, writing letters to our School Committee, TAA and The Playground Committee and hanging up posters to rally support.  Children also shared their logo contest idea they generated with Zillie Bhuju.  Children were asked to create logos that will be considered for water bottles, stickers and other goods to support endangered species.


We are so proud of our students at Steward School.  They are making a difference every day!
