Children Helping Children*
Location(s)
This project is a pilot student tutoring program where honor roll students from Kennedy Middle School will go to the Linscott School, after hours, and tutor students in the first and second grade. Based on the idea of a young student at Kennedy Middle School, this tutoring is a way he saw an opportunity to help fulfill a community need. This will provide the middle school students with valuable community service and the Linscott School students with another form of support.

Read Across Woburn*
Location(s)
Keystone Club members of the Woburn Boys & Girls Club will go to elementary school classrooms throughout Woburn to read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to the students. This book was specifically chosen because of the message that it contains regarding service and giving - something important to both the Keystone Club and the Woburn Youth Council. After the book has been read and the group engages in a discussion, the Keystone Club members will then take the class outside to plant flowers. The planting and gardening will be an opportunity for them to give back to their school, as the tree did for the boy.
