KDE (Kappa Delta Epsilon) Honor Society held an Health Initiatives drive to collect tissues, hand soap and hand sanitizer for a school in Philadelphia.

As Pennsylvania considered implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Sen. Haywood invited panels of students, parents and professors from Philadelphia and Montgomery county schools to participate in a public discussion of student assessment, school accountability and educator certification. The session took place in the Commons Great Room at Arcadia University and Chestnut Hill College participated.

One of the assignments the class completed was creating and designing a children’s story. Each book was written and illustrated by the individual student in the class. These books represent the author’s appreciation of subject matter, word choice, and images that appeal to beginning readers.

Peek into the library at Fort Washington Elementary School before school starts on Tuesdays and Thursdays and you will see 25 young students working with seven Chestnut Hill College education majors.
