Since Bonners work off-campus, we get to have super official-looking name tags! I am so excited that I will be wearing this to work 🙂
As a Bonner, I am required to complete my work-study portion of my financial aid package off-campus. First years complete their hours at a local Saint Paul Public School, and I have been assigned to Linwood Arts Plus School. We are required to work approximately 6 hours a week, which can be split over 2 or 3 days. In my case, I will be working with Linwood’s K-3 students and tutoring them in English and Math. On Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, I will work at the school from 9am to 12pm.
Linwood is about a 10 min bus ride and an 8 min walk away. For the nosy people here (I’m looking at you- haha!), I will take the eastbound 63 bus down Grand Avenue from Macalester and ride until S. Oxford St. I walk southbound down Oxford and Linwood School will be on my left. Since Bonners do work off-campus, we receive a semester-long unlimited bus pass to get to our worksites. I have also been using it to explore the Twin Cities!
On Tuesday (yesterday), I had my job orientation where I met with the administrators of Linwood and took a tour of the campus. Here’s the front of the school (with Jennifer in the foreground).

In other news, September 24th marked the 1st month anniversary for Bonners! We have been at college for a month already! Here’s a picture of all 12 of us 🙂
