Reaching Outward

Service to others and to the world is important to Friends. Relationships are established within and beyond Friends School: reading buddies, tutoring pairs, pen-pals. Service projects within the school and surrounding community are age-appropriate and are often selected by the students and teachers together. They might include such actions as maintaining school building, playground ,and gardens; sharing arts projects, food, and flowers with community organizations; and supporting efforts such as the Good Shepherd Food Bank locally or the Heifer Project internationally. The school is committed to a rich array of local field trips. Students visit farms, museums, wildlife centers, performances, libraries, parks, and local businesses.
