My Project

Our goal is to increase the kindness of our students and see the needs that are right under their noses in regards to what needs their school has. We are desiring to create a sense of community by working on community service projects around our school.

We want students to take pride in their community and in service.

We will be focusing in on serving by keeping our campus clean and then going into the community to also clean up. We want to instill in them a love of helping and showing kindness to one another. We will be using the grabbers as we go around our campus and community and picking up trash or papers that are cluttering the campus. We want our students to understand when we see something, we help, even with the smallest thing, like a piece of trash. We start small and then build on that concept through the teaching process.
