Last year, someone mentioned that Supergirl would be expected to be a celebrity in National City, and wondered why we hadn't seen her being interviewed on TV or making personal appearances. I've tried to address that in my fan-fiction stories. I've had Kara making appearances at shopping malls to help out with charity drives and being a guest at school assemblies (especially at elementary schools). And I've had her as a guest on local TV news shows on special occasions, too . I would also expect that she would have a connection to the local community in this way. What do you guys think?
Of course, the links I posted previously to specific fan-fiction screenplays I've written are gone now. But they're all still on my personal Facebook page.
Here's a link to it, if you'd like to check some of them out:

I think this is an excellent idea. One of the cool things about SG as a character is her relatability, so showing her occasionally interacting with the community in these or other ways would emphasize that aspect of the story.

Yes - I agree!
Actually, I would say that Supergirl is the most relatable superhero ever - even more so than Green Lantern or the Flash!

I'm totally with you on that Stewart, I really liked your scene of Supergirl collecting for charity @ the mall in your recent Christmas fan fiction story and would hope something similar is shown in the TV Show some time (especially if they did a Christmas rather than a Thanksgiving themed episode at the end of this year).
The closest we've got to community involvement so far that I can think of is in S1 E16 'Falling' where Supergirl flew in on the girl getting bullied @ school, that was a really nice scene and something I would like to see more of occasionally.

Stewart, can you find and post any pages of Supergirl being involved in the community from the Action/Adventure Comic Books that you know so well?.
Maybe they can show Supergirl going to school like in this behind the scenes photo that was from S2 E5 'Crossfire' if I recall correctly.

Sure, glad to comply!
Here's our Miss Danvers in Action Comics #321 in the Stanhope College hospital (apparently a teaching hospital for medical interns). Kara deliberately exposes herself to red kryptonite (!) that was given to her by Clark, so that a needle can penetrate her arm. And then she donates her Kryptonian blood to the hospital blood bank. Unfortunately, Kara's college friend Debbie Porter is badly hurt in a traffic accident at the same time, and is taken into the emergency room. But don't worry, she survives the ordeal!

And here's Kara in Action Comics #291, as a guest cheerleader for the Metropolis football team:

Oh, and for those who may have been wondering why I referred to Kara as "Our Miss Danvers", here's the reference from TV's first Golden Age:

Our Miss Danvers...CUTE!
As for the show your idea is based on; Our Miss Brooks was also a radio program during the waning days of the medium's Golden Age in the 50's. The radio cast was able to transfer to the golden age of TV in the 1950's, including star Eve Arden. But it's underappreciated because of how much airplay other shows of the decade like "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners" gets; the latter especially on Supergirl's NYC home, WPIX. Thankfully the MeTV network in the states airs Our Miss Brooks...albeit at 5AM. HOWEVER...the MeTV affiliate where i live WJLP out of Middletown, NJ, carries that scourge of television at that time...AN INFOMERCIAL!
CORRECTION...I got up this morning at about 5:25 AM EST and while dialing through my cable line-up an landing on WJLP's cable dial 33...Our Miss Brooks was on...and beautifully restored digitally at that.
