Giving Back

Volunteerism is a huge part of what makes our country work. From volunteering to join the army and taking a pledge to serve and protect America to posting up during disasters, our country has a history of coming together for causes bigger than ourselves. Sometimes just donating your time to help another person can make a world of difference!

We have been talking about what we can do as a class to serve our community. Your children have decided they want to go to our local elementary school and work with the at-risk population. Some students will tutor, while others give their time to befriend a child. What they do during their time with their student will be up to them (within reason, of course!).

If you would like your child to be a part of this opportunity, please read and sign the letter that your child will be bringing home tonight. Below are some pictures of last year's group, so you can get a better idea of how your child will be spending their time.
