Community Service Learning Monday!

In Primary Division classrooms, peace education begins with small, intentional choices. As students learn to care for their environment through recycling, they also discover the power of responsibility, respect, and mindful living. By reducing waste and reusing materials, they’re not just helping the planet, they’re practicing what it means to create a more peaceful, sustainable world for all. 🌎

Community Service Learning Monday!

Fourth graders study the essential question, “What does it mean to experience food insecurity, and how can we reduce this problem in our community?”

As part of the Great State Fair of Westminster students learned startling statistics and that one in five families in Oklahoma experience hunger. To make a meaningful impact, they are hosting a food drive now, through April 3, and collecting non-perishable items to support local families.

Items needed include canned tuna and chicken, canned fruits, cereal and oatmeal, soup and stew, pasta and canned sauces, beans (canned or dry), canned vegetables, and peanut butter.

Every donation helps nourish a neighbor. 💙🤍💙

From collaboration to creativity, they discovered that every contribution matters and that strong communities are built when we all support one another.

Partnering directly with these organizations, eighth graders are eager to share their businesses! Students are hard at work creating, producing, packaging, and distributing their goods.

Recently, Primary Division students enjoyed hearing sales pitches and learning about various businesses.
