An integral part of the program at Saint Paul's, community service initiatives teach the joy of giving. Cultivating a sensitivity to the needs of the community is part of Saint Paul's mission, and students of all ages are involved in community service. To help our students learn at an early age how to reach out to others, Saint Paul's has created a program called Planting the Seed. In this program, each grade level in Lower School is paired with a community organization or residential facility.
Students write letters, make cards, and create gifts for their pen pals.
Some grades visit with their pen pals, while others invite representatives to campus. Students are currently paired with a local children's hospital, a Veteran's Administration hospital, assisted-living facilities, and other local groups. Students participate in service activities both in the school and in the community by volunteering for civic projects, supporting environmental clean-up efforts, and making voluntary contributions to food drives.
