Dynamo D-Term Students
Dynamo D-Term Students Work to Improve Their Local Community
“D-Term is an experiential, interdisciplinary service-learning project on which the entire 8th grade works from August through December,” explained Miriam Murtuza, Ph.D., Middle School English instructor. “The project has three key components: learning, doing and sharing.”
The learning component of D-Term requires students to examine issues affecting our community. “This year, each 8th grader researched a specific problem and an organization that addresses that problem,” Murtuza said. “After students identified a service organization that interested them, they created a brochure highlighting that organization and sent it to the organizations they profiled. A number of students received letters back, thanking them for the brochures they created.”
