I am a big believer in helping others, particularly children. As a small token of admiration for being an active citizen, I would love to post pictures of Kingston students participating in the Fill a Bag, Feed a Child program, or other worthy causes.
The highest, and most beneficial level of community service learning is direct service. This level involves our children interacting with others to improve a situation or place by tutoring, assisting, building, painting, raising oysters for Lynnhaven River Now, participating in Clean the Bay Day, or cleaning up an area in need on any day are on this level.
We most often perform the 2nd level of community service in schools. Schools often collect PJs, host canned food drives, collect PJs, set up an Angel tree, or support the Feed a Bag program below. Our children do not see the recipients, but they may learn about the need and help to alleviate the problem. While both levels are beneficial to our children and community, children learn more about how vital their actions are by direct contact.
Service organizations are often begging for helping hands and there is no shortage of worthy causes. I highly recommend Destination Imagination's service learning challenge ( See challenge previews at: http://www.destinationimagination.org/what-we-do/challenge-program )if you'd be willing to manage a team of students who will astound you with their efforts to make a difference.
Please help me recognize and applaud our student citizens by sending digital pictures of your child in action to [email protected].
Please be mindful of others' privacy and send pictures of only your child(ren) in action.
