Stevenson Elementary School recently welcomed a group of dedicated Howard University students as part of the university’s Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program. Each year, Howard students travel to different locations to engage in meaningful community service, and this year, their ASB site in the Detroit area was Stevenson Elementary in Southfield, MI.
Throughout the week, the Howard University students led engaging learning activities designed to support student growth and development. Their presence brought excitement and inspiration to the Stevenson community, reinforcing the power of community partnerships in education. The impact of their visit was deeply felt by both students and staff, making their departure an emotional experience. However, the connection doesn’t end here—Stevenson is eagerly looking forward to an upcoming virtual visit to continue the collaboration.
Stevenson Elementary extends its sincere gratitude to Mrs. Gaddis and Mrs. Ponzo-Vance for organizing this enriching experience. The school also shared highlights from the visit on its Instagram page, capturing moments of joy and learning with hashtags like #CommunitySchool, #BisonStrong, #DesigningFutures, and #PajamaDay.
The visit from Howard University’s ASB students exemplifies the importance of service, education, and mentorship in shaping the future. Stevenson Elementary is proud to have been part of this experience and looks forward to continuing the partnership.
