Calvary Christian School hosted its annual community service kick-off assembly in October, launching community service efforts for its students in TK through eighth grade and their parents—a program that dates back 16 years.
“With meaningful partnerships with over 15 local organizations, students are given the opportunity to serve in a wide variety of ways during their years at Calvary,” according to a statement from the school. “Service efforts and field trips allow students to have first-hand experience with serving the underprivileged, those suffering from homelessness and hunger, veterans, families in foster care, the elderly, children with differing abilities, and more.”
