Boulder Creek Academy students publish book on
Boundary County |
|
August 7, 2015 |
Students of a local boarding school, Boulder
Creek Academy, are publishing a photo journal
that includes interviews of local residents in
Bonners Ferry. The book contains articles on a
variety of contributing members in the Boundary
County community, providing an inside look at
the residents’ lives and passions from the
perspective of students who interviewed them.
The book, scheduled for release on September
10, will be available through Amazon.com,
email pre-release reservations, and a variety of
Bonners Ferry locations.
Service Learning is a research-based, volunteer
initiative that allows students to interact with
and learn about their community. The class is
not a community service; it’s designed to teach
students important skills through community
involvement. In each project, students evaluate
their talents and interests to design projects
that meet the needs in their community. At
Boulder Creek, the Service Learning class
rotates through the student body every 12 weeks
in order to offer opportunities for students to
learn more about the community in which they
live. The project began in January and continues
through August, with hours of dedicated writing,
editing, and marketing work.
One student involved in the project explained,
“It was an awesome experience to interview,
write, edit, and eventually create a finished
product that speaks to the good intentions of
the unique people who live in this community.”
The Boulder Creek Academy Service Learning
Initiative is proud to introduce its final
product, Getting to Know You, Experiencing
Boundary County Through Its People.
