Active service has always been an integral part of Pride Academy Charter School’s mission and vision. We work to empower our scholars to see themselves as leaders and change agents in their communities. They engage in a wide variety of service projects through their participation in school-wide food drives, service-learning classroom activities, and Project Pride.
One of the major community service events at Pride Academy is our annual Philanthropy Day. This year, Philanthropy Day will take place on Friday, December 22nd. On this day, our students learn about the importance of active service through presentations, lessons, guest speakers, and by actively engaging in a project that serves others.
FAMILY PHILANTHROPY!
Parents and families are the first and most important teachers in every child’s life. Foster the values of giving and service in your children by implementing some of the strategies below.
- Support Philanthropy Day by donating warm hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for our service projects.
- Join your child at Pride Academy during Philanthropy. Be part of our special day of service and work side by side with your child as they work on their assigned community service project. Please reach out to Ms Dumenigo at 973-672-3200 ext. 210 for more details.
- Find a cause that is important to you and your child, and make a small donation to that cause. For example, if your child loves animals, you might want to make a family donation to an animal rescue shelter.
- Learn about causes that affect your family and loved ones. If you have a family member who is a veteran, you can write and/or send a holiday card to:
A Recovering American Soldier
C/O Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue
NW Washington D.C. 20307-5001
