Bringing service learning to life
This event also marks the kickoff of our 6th graders’ yearlong service learning project. They are volunteering by facilitating outdoor games for Shine A Ligh7.
The grade level service learning program is a meaningful opportunity for each grade level to connect with a specific charity throughout the school year. Students will complete multiple service projects to help support the mission of their grade’s chosen charity. The yearlong charity relationship will build a deep connection and sense of community. Other grade levels will begin their service projects when school commences.
6th grade families, please be on the lookout for specific details regarding arrival times and drop off location.
