A Visitor in the Lower School

Desmond Daniels, a familiar face in the Lower School community, has become even more familiar as he spends his Senior Independent Project (SIP) shadowing Andrea Emmons. Seniors at AFS are required to do an independent project before graduating, which gives the opportunity for Seniors to experience something they love. This could be working on a project that they have not had the opportunity to do, deepen/enrich previously learned skills, or work in a career setting. Desmond chose to work in a career setting of his dream job. . . one day being part of educational leadership and working in education management.

For Desmond's SIP, he is studying education administration because he would one day love to become an administrator. He hopes to learn how schools work from this type of perspective. For his SIP project, he has shadowed Ryan Kimmet who is Greene Street Friends School's Head of Lower and Middle School, Andrea Emmons who is the Lower School Director of Abington Friends School and has also shadowed Secretary Pedro Rivera who is the Secretary of Education of Pennsylvania. Desmond is very excited to be working with such awesome, motivating, and inspiring individuals and appreciates them spending their time with him!
