Service Learning and Community Service

Roots and Wings is dedicated to Service Learning where students learn more about themselves and thier community by volunteering.  This year different "crews" or in our case at RWCS classes have volunteered at places such as the Men's Homeless Shelter in Taos where they helped in the facility and worked to build a bench for people to rest on, Sol Feliz Farm where students helped create compost and worked to gather rocks to create a water catchment system, they have picked up trash in the Lama and Red River Communities and this past week students created a safe path to walk on from the Highway up Lama road going through Dr. Bud Wilson's Land, they mended fences, and created measuring devises for the Lama Acequia.  Our students did this along side Students from Southern Methodist University who are involved in Alternative Breaks, Spring Breaks that they spend Volunteering rather than partying.  SMU students worked to help our community on the outside, on the ranch, in our library and in our school helping students with one on one tutoring with Teacher supervision.  The upcoming show will focus on this type of learning.
