The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, March 21, 2002 Seniors @ continued from page 1) ent student fund raising pro- jects. In addition, 13 local nursing homes were treated to entertainment programs. “We did a Christmas show and an Oldies show,” said Lind- sey Shaw. She and Melissa Hughes performed two or three times at some of those homes. “We also put on a prom at the Lakeside Nursing Home in Har- eys Lake,” said Melissa. “We brought other kids out with us and you could tell that the resi- dents really loved it. We could tell we brought up their spirits a lot.” : Students are encouraged to pick a project that reflects their future goals. “I want to be an environmen- @-: lawyer, so I wanted to some- thing to help the environment,” said Sara Pegarella. She and her partner, Cassie Dyches, cleaned up a handicapped trail at Moon Lake State Park. “The sad part was that it was really dirty,” said Cassie. Bobby Morris picked his pro- ject from something that hap- pened in his past. “My uncle was killed by a drunk driver,” a aid Bobby, who got in touch with Bob Young, the vice presi- dent of the Eastern PA chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Dri- ving. Morris set up an area where students donned special- ly designed goggles and tried to walk a straight line. “He loaned me the ‘drunk goggles,” traffic .tape, red rib- bons and a video,” said Morris. Students wearing the goggles were unable to play a simple game of catch. The children at all three kindergartens in the Lake- Lehman School District benefit- ed from Carrie Foster's project. “I made puppets and performed a puppet show about bullies,” said Carrie. “It was about social behavior and some of the kids were dealing with a bully, so they responded very well.” Critics of the requirement wonder what purpose is served. Aside from learning how to do a research paper, and the obvi- ous benefit of acquainting youth with the needs of com- munity service organizations, sometimes it is just the impe- tus a student needs to fulfill a dream. “I always wanted to make a film and this gave me a dead- line to do it,” said Jenna Casal- di. Her film on Dadaism re- ceived rave reviews from fellow students. “I picked Dadaism because it was a very interesting art move- ment. It defied all of the rules and traditional standards and it allowed people to create di- rectly without following conven- tional rules of aesthetics.” Jesse Saylor was another stu- dent whose project was a life- long dream. He built a beautiful cedar strip canoe. “I always wanted to do this,” said Jesse, whose father helped him only in holding the long strips of wood. He researched how to build it and completed the ca- noe in 91 hours over a three- . month period. Other interesting completion projects presented at the show- case included: a rebuilt 125 cc top end of a two-stroke engine; a field hockey clinic and a sum- mer soccer camp; volunteer work at Camp Joy, Back Moun- tain and Harveys Lake baseball organizations, Habitat for Hu- manity, and Big Brother/Big Sister; and the very successful continuation of the Adopt A Grandparent program at the Hi-Meadows Apartments. Lake-Lehman students volunteer at Meadows @ lene from Lake-Lehman High chool performed a variety song and dance show for the residents at Meadows Nursing Home, Dallas, re- cently.
