Beyond My Front Door
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
Service is a habit and like most habits it is most effectively developed at an early age. It is a way that young people can contribute to their community while at the same time receiving something in return. Research shows that students’ grades improve when they are involved in community service; they exhibit fewer instances of at-risk behavior; and they have more involvement as an adult in the community.
It is the belief of Dallas Lutheran School that it is important for our young people to learn about civic responsibility and community service to those around them. Because of this belief, we have implemented a plan to designate four school days this school year for community service. We will be transporting the entire student body to different venues to do various types of community service. Some of the partnering agencies normally designated are: Presbyterian Village, Achievement Center, Union Gospel, Walnut Place, Dallas Ramps, Mt. Olive Food Bank, Bethlehem Center, Vickery Meadow Learning Center, LINC.
We always involve student leaders to do the planning of the various projects and secure transportation and supplies needed (another part of the learning process).
If you have a project that would be appropriate for us to take part in please contact the school office. Likewise, if you have a desire to help us in any way in this venture with transportation, supplies, muscle, etc. we would like to hear from you.
If you have questions, please contact the school office.
