Community Stewardship Day on April 25, 2014, was a huge success all around. About 370 students and 26 chaperones attended this city-wide event to12 locations around the City of Alexandria. Expert volunteers from the National Park Service, Alexandria Seaport Foundation, the Department of Recreation, Parks, & Cultural Activities, Friends of Dyke Marsh, INOVA Hospital and more guided our students through a variety of activities in different parks around Alexandria. It is not an exaggeration at all to say that everyone had a great time. Every single student, chaperone, and volunteer was all smiles at the end of the trip and everyone was eager to share what they learned and how proud they were of the hard work they completed.
With so many different stories to share, we have created a whole separate website to share our experiences, research, and photos with you. Though it is still a work in progress at this moment, it should be complete in the next week or so as students finish submitting their work. This website is almost entirely authored by the students of the International Academy - the true champions of the day. So check it out now at iastewardship.weebly.com!
