Community Outreach
TCPS reaches out...
In the Fall of 2004 we had a very special all school assembly. This assembly launched our 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. To visually and dramatically demonstrate "community", the students sat in concentric circles, each circle representing a community in which we live; the inner circle represented TCPS and the final one represented the world. 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 prompted 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.
- 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.
