The School has several outreach projects to the community of Little Rock, which are driven by a sense of gratitude. We collect canned and non-perishable food items to distribute through St. Francis House (an outreach arm of the Episcopal Church), The Centers for Youth and Families, and The Rice Depot.

We come together to bless these and pray for those who will receive them. Students load the items onto trucks and bring them to the places of distribution. We collect from the students: school supplies, diapers, and baby formula, warm mittens and blankets to share with other children during particular times of the year. These are usually distributed by professional outreach centers, mentioned above.

Students collect and wrap gifts at Christmas, which are taken to the Centers for Youth and Families. Children who would otherwise have no gifts, received the offerings of the students.

All of the activities are rooted in a sense of gratitude for our own blessings, and a sense that, as we stated in our canned food campaign, "We are all One Body." We openly discuss and explore the idea that what happens to you affects us all. And we began to envision what would happen if countries with so much shared food, training, ideas, technology, and money with countries which suffer.

The basic guidelines for getting along with others in our school, the school rules, and the implementation and use of "I Care" Language most clearly express the presence of a code of conduct that is help for students and teachers alike. We constantly look for avenues of opportunity to plant these codes within the home of the child, as well.
