Black Educators Visit Woodland Hills Elementary Schools

Participants from the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education, Inc. toured Edgewood Elementary during Black History Month.

The purpose of the group's visit was to read to students, donate books to classrooms and answer questions.

Each year, participants from around the state choose a community service project they will perform during the course of the conference. Since the state-wide event was being held in Pittsburgh this year, the participants chose to spend time reading to elementary students in the Woodland Hills School District.

Fifty-eight participants visited 29 classrooms at in grades pre-kindergarten through sixth. Another 36 conference participants visited Woodland Hills Academy.

Conference participants included professors and educators from Pennsylvania colleges and universities and students who are pursuing education degrees.
