During a visit to Hogar Nuestra Señora de la Providencia, third graders shared laughter, stories, and friendly competition with the residents, turning board games into meaningful moments of connection.
It was the kind of joy that cannot be taught from a textbook. Between turns and smiles, students also delivered handmade cards filled with thoughtful messages, each one a small reminder that kindness is felt most when it is shared.
Our Upper Elementary students learned that community service is not just about giving. It is about being present, leading with empathy, and making others feel truly seen and valued.
