EARLY CHILDHOOD ED STUDENTS CHANGE LIVES
Valentines Day Lunch Benefits Smile Train
CTE Instructor and Educators Rising Advisor, Bonnie Stull said this is the 5th year her Early Childhood Education students participated in a service learning activity to benefit children born with a common birth defect. Prior, MaryEllen Hardin did ta similar activity at Pueblo for at least 10 years. Stull also said: "cleft lip is the 4th most common birth defect in the U.S.; Pueblo's Educators Rising chapter voted to fund 2 surgeries through Smile Train."
When asked what one surprising benefit was, Stull said:" teachers see/interact with their students in a different light, different than the classroom setting: polite, efficient, conscientious; students see their teachers in a different setting too."
