Twenty-four 7th and 8th grade students celebrated the successful completion of their service as 2009-2010 Junior Docents at a graduation party at Pasadena Museum of History.
The students, from Marshall, McKinley and St. Philip the Apostle Schools in Pasadena, and Sierra Madre School, went through a seven-session training last fall in preparation for leading elementary school groups on interactive tours of the Museum’s Pasadena Patron exhibition and the Fenyes Mansion. The Mansion and exhibition are used as teaching tools to explore the history of Pasadena, life and culture at the turn of the century, and how it contrasts with life today. Students develop skills in leadership, time management, and public speaking while at the same time making a significant contribution to the community. This dedicated group of 2009-2010 Junior Docents gave over 500 hours of volunteer service while touring over 600 third and fourth graders plus teachers and parents this past winter and spring.
