Community Service

Children at every level, from JK to grade 12, give back to the community in hundreds of ways big and small. From collecting books for underprivileged children, to pet therapy with senior citizens, to annually hosting the Special Olympics spring games, our students fully understand that privilege and service go hand in hand.
