Loyola School Tour
During today’s service learning session we (the UWM students) went on a tour of the Loyola school grounds. The students introduced us to what they felt were note-worthy highlights of the campus, as well as historical attributes that date back to when the school was actually a church. Some highlights included the cafeteria, health classroom, where the priests and nuns quarters were, and a greenhouse located adjacent to the main building. The students also shared what they thought were important landmarks, places of business, and other places of recreation located on the South Side. Overall the experience was a success, even though many of the students were hesitant to jump in and take command of the tour. They were also somewhat reluctant to share places of interest around their neighborhood. Enough information and images were gathered for future success with the service learning initiatives, but I wish the students were more excited about being involved. After our meeting I took a brief drive around their South Side neighborhoods, snapping pictures of their examples and a few other outstanding landmarks.
