Each month an event will be planned to bring all the students and children together. The Heston School program is a mentoring program for inner city kids in West Philadelphia. It involves going to the Heston Elementary School in Philadelphia once a week during their school hours and spending a half hour each with three different children. Our attention not only brightens their week but really lets them know that they are cared about - that what they do in school and otherwise is important to the world. Depending on class schedules and the number of students volunteering on the day of the week either cars or vans are used for transportation.
Public transportation is accessible any time during the week as well.
If you have any questions contact Lauren Fisher '01 or Jackie McManus '02 .
