Community Service Projects

Community Service is one of the three pillars of our charter, so we have an intentional purpose of instilling in our students the value giving back to the community. All of our students, grades PreK - 8th, as well as our staff members, support our community with continuous involvement in service projects each year.  Each classroom chooses an organization to adopt and fulfill one of its major needs. We believe when students understand the value of and take part in community service, they move beyond the classroom in utilizing their experiences, knowledge and skills to benefit others.

In educating the whole child, our community service projects allow students to apply principles, concepts and lessons from the classroom into the projects that serve the needs of their community.
