Service Learning

It's important for a child to be actively involved with their community at an early age. It starts in Kindergarten with reading buddies and extends to student organized Me to We initiatives – every student has the opportunity to understand the importance of community engagement.

Parkview Public School in Lindsay demonstrates excellent examples of student and community engagement with activities such as: MS Readathon, Terry Fox Run, Family Drive, and Reading Buddies. These activities allow students to understand the importance of making a difference in their community and in the lives of others. Community engagement is a key focus in TLDSB schools – by implementing the importance of volunteering, educators have the opportunity to motivate students to take a stand and make a difference in their community and the world around them.

Parents are an important part of the community engagement component. For students to make a difference, parents need to encourage their children at home. It only takes one person to make a change – your child is the revolution the world needs today, so motivate them to make a difference!
