A nine-foot bust of Benjamin Franklin, commissioned by the city of Philadelphia, was installed on Oct. 3 and dedicated in Girard Fountain Park at 4th and Arch Streets in historic downtown Philadelphia at 10 a.m. on Oct. 5, 2007.
In 2003, the city of Philadelphia launched a competition to replace the much-loved but deteriorated Penny Franklin sculpture that stood next to the Engine 8 firehouse in the historic Old City neighborhood (see map). After sifting through many submissions, the council chose James' proposal for a nine-foot bronze bust. Key to its selection was James' desire to make the sculpture more than simply a memorial and a thing of beauty; just like the work it would replace, he said, it should be a touchstone for the surrounding community.

Years 9 and 10 students in Photography and Media this week have been busy working on their latest assignment; investigating how social justice applies to their generation.
At the start of the week students took part in a workshop run by the awesome BBC Devons Political reporter Jenny Kumah. Within the workshop students looked at writing questions, gathering news and interview techniques. Yesterday the students hosted four visitors from some wonderful local community organisations; Julie Paget from - Plymouth and Devon Racial Equality Council, Pete Davey from The 100 Homes Oral History Project , Maria from the - The Oasis Cafe / Plymouth food bank and Tim Todd - Previous Youth Services. manager, foster carer and community voice specialist. This questions and answers session saw small groups of students rotate around the visitors asking questions and investigating what the community groups do and the impact they are having in their local community. We would like to say a huge thank you to our visitors for sharing their time and expertise with us.
A key part of the social justice assignment will see students have the opportunity to either work on a printed publication for the Shine School Media Awards or to create a documentary as part of the PLURAL + competition. “The Shine School Media Awards is a national competition rewarding UK secondary schools who produce an outstanding newspaper, magazine, podcast or website” We have been successful at scouping national awards over the past two years. Last year we were the Winner of best design and layout so fingers crossed for this year.

The program is the nation's largest, free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service. It is available to low- and moderate-income taxpayers with special attention to those aged 60 and older. In 2014, more than 35,000 AARP Foundation trained and IRS certified volunteers helped over 2.6 million people file their taxes. In Santa Fe, AARP Tax-Aide operates two sites where nearly 70 tax preparers and 30 other volunteers assist with tasks such as Spanish translation. The primary site is at the Santa Fe Community College and an additional site is located this year at the Santa Fe Boys & Girls Club. Since opening on February 1, the two sites have filed over 4,200 returns and have netted over $7.35 million in tax-return dollars back into the community.
