IMS Home Again Project 2010
The students and staff of Independence Middle School in the Bethel Park School District are engaged in the second year of the service learning project called “Home Again.” Participants in the project have repaired and refurbished the home of a family in the community during a weekend in May. The focus of the work was to address safety and energy efficiency as well as comfort and aesthetics.

Teams played against one another on March 27 at IMS, with Memorial winning the tournament. Refreshments, raffles and a bake sale also helped to raise funds for this student service learning opportunity at IMS that will have students and staff working together to refurbish the home of a needy Bethel Park family in May.

Team 8B Walk-a-thon
On April 1st, team 8B took to the high school track donned in orange Home Again t-shirts to raise money for the 2010 Home Again project. During March, students worked to get family, friends and neighbors to pledge money for each lap or mile completed by the student. The students spent four team periods walking on the track, completing between 20 and 32 laps, or between 5 and 8 miles. Individual students raised between $10 and $250 for their efforts. Overall, the team of 108 students raised over $2,500. In addition to the walk-a-thon, team 8B conducted a t-shirt sale. 8B students purchased these shirts to wear during the walk-a-thon, and the shirts were also sold to the rest of the student body and to the faculty. Students and staff will be encouraged to wear their shirts to school on Friday, May 14th, the day the Home Again project will begin. Team 8B raised a few hundred dollars from the t-shirt sales and hopes that the t-shirts will help to promote the Home Again project within the school and the Bethel Park community.
