Cooper's Poynt Family School (Camden, New Jersey)

The students involved in this service project from Mr. Ferber's 8th grade Language Arts Literacy class have chosen to coordinate a fundraiser to raise money for The Cathedral Kitchen, a local soup kitchen, as well as another charity to be chosen. Additionally, we will be "adopting" our pre-school classes and are organizing a "Read Along with Me/ Role Model program. Last, but definitely not least, we would like to open the doors of communication with different schools with diverse student populations for a day of dialogue and understanding. As an inner-city school, we have many questions that we would like to ask students in suburban schools. We are sure that students in suburban schools have many questions about growing up in the inner-city. A "Get to Know Us Day" would open the doors of connection, understanding, tolerance, and acceptance. We could set up this "Diversity Dialogue" through our Distance Learning lab, or by a visit. Interested parties can reach us at dferber@camden.k12.nj.us.
