Kids for Kids Program

Our fourth graders are philanthropists! For the last several weeks, they have been working with the Kids for Kids Program--an experiential curriculum that nurtures a philanthropic disposition and agency in children.

Through the program, students explored the rights of all children, developed perspective-taking skills around various challenges, and learned about great local solutions to solve community problems. The values discussed in the program align with our Social Responsibility and DEIB work, including community, equity, inclusion, empathy, altruism, dignity, and empowerment.

The program culminated in the students collectively deciding how to allocate $1,000 to a local organization and drafting personal giving pledges (declarations of their philanthropic intentions moving forward).

At today's celebration, the students voted for the donation to go to The Center for Alexandria's Children.
