Personal and Communal Growth

For this core value we look at growth of the whole person.  Children not only look at their development but at the greater good.  We raise money through the recycling of juice boxes to donate to charity.  The children also pray for others during our spontaneous prayer.  They pray for people without houses, food, toys and for people who have died.  The children are very compassionate and considerate.  They pray for the astronauts who died, for people who are on vacation to have a safe journey back, they pray for children who are sick or for their moms to have a good day!

Here are the children's responses:

"If someone trips we go and help them right away."

"We pray to God for people who died and for people who have no homes."

"We give people food who don't have a lot food."

"We will try to help people who don't have a home and try to help them find a home."

"Bring toys, pencils, school stuff to kids who don't have toys."

"We are nice."
