During the 2006 Peoples' Festival in Philadelphia's Vernon Park, Ahlia Love, Peoples'
Festival President pledged that the Festival Committee would adopt Germantown High
School. Several months later she accepted an invitation to begin a Young Women's
Mentoring group to be held weekly during the school day. The program was warmly received
by the students who overwhelmingly requested a summer program which began two weeks
after the start of summer vacation.
The summer program took place twice weekly for two hours a day up until two weeks before
the start of the new school year. The young ladies took part in the planning, promotion and
execution of 2007 Peoples' Festival.
A few of our student took a pledge to protect and beautify historic Vernon Park. As a result
they became Junior members of Friends of Vernon Park. This commitment led to an
opportunity to plant 1500 Daffodils along the fence line of the park. These beautiful flowers
are now visible in Vernon Park.
The following school year the young ladies created a scholarship fund to help graduating
seniors with upcoming college expenses. We'll keep you posted on new things that are
happening.
