Service Learning in New Canaan Country School’s Lower School
Guided by faculty, the school's first through fourth graders explored the idea of "giving heart" through writings, presentations and service
New Canaan Country School’s first through fourth grade students continued to explore the idea of a “giving heart” by participating in two donation service projects this December: a toy and gift drive for ELM/Camp Amerikids and a warm, comfort food drive for the Person-to-Person Mobile Food Truck.
Students engaged in many ways, including writing and delivering assembly presentations, meeting with representatives from both organizations, delivering boxes of donated items and touring Phil the Truck. Upcoming service learning initiatives in the New Year will include Dunk Your Kicks, more visits from Phil, and preparation for the spring Kyle a. Markes Day of Service.
New Canaan Country School is a co-ed, independent day school for students in Pre-K (ages 3 & 4) through Grade 9. Located on a 75-acre campus in New Canaan, the school provides transportation for families living throughout the region. For more information about the school, visit www.countryschool.net.
