SERVICE LEARNING IN THE DEEPEST SENSE

LREI
Junior Class Project from Brownsville, TX
Junior Class Trip continues - Live from Brownsville, TX, the project focus is immigration and family separation. HS Co-Principal Allison Isbell’s message speaks to the junior class’ trip mission, “This is service learning in the deepest sense.” #lreilearns

Some words from the field: I am watching our students transform right in front of me. They just had a conversation that was driven by the following comment: "we need to own that it is not the responsiblity of LREI to make sure we keep doing this work. This is our responsibility now. If we stop thinking about this when we leave it is because we are shirking our responsibility as people and citizens - it's our work now."

"We just spent the last 3 hours working to help a flood of migrants who were release by DHS - our students used every bit of Spanish they know to help them get clothing, food, medicine, and to explain how the bus system works. This is service learning in the deepest sense - coming to know the experience of others through the work they did. Nothing could possibly bring them closer to what is happening at our borders than this." -HS Co-Principal Allison Isbell
