Perkiomen Valley honors 15 students for Peru service‑learning trip
Summary
The board recognized 15 Perkiomen Valley High School students who spent eight days in Peru’s Sacred Valley in July, where they learned local culture and helped build about 180 mud bricks to support a boarding school’s dormitory expansion.
The Perkiomen Valley School District Board of School Directors recognized 15 high‑school students for an eight‑day trip to the Sacred Valley of Peru, praising their cultural immersion and community service work.
Board members said the students experienced traditional art forms, explored Inka ruins and supported a local boarding school by helping produce about 180 mud bricks used for dormitory expansion. The district presented certificates and small tokens to each student and arranged photos after the meeting.
The board framed the trip as a global‑citizenship experience that combined learning with giving back to a community that—according to the board’s description—relies on support from private individuals and organizations to provide education access to girls in the area.
Fifteen students were named and called forward to receive recognition; the district thanked families and staff for their support.
