Community Outreach
TCPS reaches out...
Beginning in 2004 TCPS students have banded together to cause a positive change through their collaborative work. An all school assembly was held in the Fall of 2004 to launch an ongoing commitment to helping our students develop a spirit of philanthropy. During the assembly, TCPS students came together to talk about the meaning of community. This prompted a discussion about the responsibility of members of a community, and it was decided that we had a responsibility to help and support the concerns of all of our communities. This led to a wonderful discussion about hunger - one of the world community's biggest issues - and we talked about the ways in which our TCPS community could be of service.
Since its beginning, TCPS students have continued philanthropic efforts by selecting a new organization or cause and committing themselves for a two year period.
- For two rewarding years, TCPS worked with Heifer International, raising money to buy animals for families in South America as a sustained method of helping this global problem of hunger.
- During the next two years the students of The Child's Primary School tackled the problem of extreme poverty by partnering with WE (Women's Empowerment), a non-profit San Diego group that provides small business loans to the poorest women of the world.
- In 2009, students chose to focus on the environment, specifically addressing a clean and "green" San Diego. Through a variety of events and activities, students were able to create a positive physical change to their community.
