In the Better Together reading, Valley Interfaith worked with parents, grandparents, and guardians of elementary school children to find out what they thought were the most important improvements to be made at or around the school. This article describes a school improvement project that City Year organized, getting ideas for projects from the people who use the building.

PLYMOUTH - South Shore Community Action Council Inc. hosted its 19th annual Local Heroes Awards Night March 27 at the Radisson Hotel in Plymouth, sponsored by Rockland Trust Co., Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, Curtis Construction, and other area businesses. Each year, SSCAC recognizes those individuals, organizations, and businesses that demonstrate extraordinary commitment to fighting poverty and improving the lives of South Shore residents. Master of Ceremonies, Senate President Therese Murray, presented each Local Hero with a certificate of recognition from U.S. Rep. William Keating and official citations. This year's Local Heroes include:Brendan Haas - In February of 2012, then 9 years old, Brendan Haas, of Kingston, used Facebook to start a "trading up" program called "A Soldier for a Soldier." Starting with a toy soldier, Brendan eventually traded up for an all-expense paid trip to Disney. On Memorial Day, 2012, he gave that trip to the family of Timothy Steele of Duxbury, a soldier killed in Afghanistan. When Good Morning America gave him another trip as a reward for his generosity, he gave that trip away to another military family. Brendan is currently trading up to raise funds to move a solar house built and donated by MIT from storage in Boston to donated land in Princeton. Once the house is moved to its new location, he plans to give it to yet another military family. I think this article is important because it gives credits to us little people who are making a difference in the community.

With the severe economic downturn happening in Detroit, I found this organization very interesting. It reminded me of the collaboration between the shipyard and the surrounding community of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Instead of being a week-long showcase, Bridging Communities is ongoing and works to improve the lives of the elderly in Southwest Detroit.
