The drama department’s contribution to the service-learning program at this school is the Medieval Festival it organizes, involving most departments in the high school as well as the community. This event is a cross curricular project, including parental involvement, concentrating on a past time period. Students research medieval times while focusing on originality and creativity in the areas of literature, music, art, family life, health, and sports of the time period. Students apply academic skills and research by writing historically plausible scripts and music. All areas of the curriculum are involved including business and commerce with ticket sales and guild booths at the festival.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way.
