Griffs enrolled in EDU 250 Foundations of Education volunteered at over fifteen (15) Buffalo Public School Community School family events throughout the fall semester. Students spent Thursday evenings and Saturday morning at BPS schools assisting with robust progamming organized by Say Yes Buffalo School Navigators.
Saturday Academies are a time where buildings open their doors to the entire community, bringing in valuable resources, engaging vendors and activities for all ages. Free breakfast and lunch are provided. Canisius students learned about this beneficial community resource as they assisted with family registration, helped young children with crafts, played math games with middle schoolers, supervised open gym time and assisted at petting zoos! A few of the schools Canisius partners with include BPS #74 Hamlin Park, BPS #301 Burgard High School, and BPS #59 Charles Drew Science Magnet School.
Thanks for your help, Griffs!
