Dolores Huerta Day of Service

In honor of Dolores Huerta Day of Service, our students engaged in hands-on service across the community —building connections, supporting local organizations, and putting compassion into action. From environmental restoration to food justice and community care, each grade level contributed in meaningful ways. Their work reflects a shared commitment to service, equity, and the power of collective impact.
