Canisius Students Volunteer at BPS Saturday Academy
Coding was among the top activities offered to the Saturday Academy students.
Students enrolled in EDU 250, Foundation of Education, volunteered a weekend morning at a local Buffalo Public School Saturday Academy. Students were present at Hamlin Park Academy (BPS #74) on March 8 to assist children and families with games and activities. A big hit with the children was computer coding, sponsored by TechBuffalo. Other students were engaged in three-on-three basketball tournaments, country line dancing, crafts, yoga, and hair braiding. Canisius has committed to sending volunteers to assist with five Hamlin Park Saturday Academies during the 24-25 school year.
