The Elementary Community Service club was formed in 2001-2002. A group of interested moms with the Elementary Egyptian Culture teachers work together to fulfill the objectives of the club.

The objectives of the club are

  • To create an early awareness of responsibility towards the human community.

  • To develop the child's personality through community service projects.

  • To establish a sense of respect towards all human cultures.

    • Projects for 2003-2004

    The Egyptian Culture department continued running its weekly snack sale and biweekly food sale. The funds raised were used to support the different community service projects such as help an orphan read..

    The department also continued its annual distribution of collected food and clothing sponsored by the high school community service classes.

    Projects for 2002-2003

    Help an Orphan Read
    The project was launched in November 2002. With the help of the book fair committee the ECSC had a booth on the open sale day. The booth had samples of selected Arabic books. The Arabic books will be donated to foster houses and orphanages to help establish a library and promote reading. Students in the Arabic classes decorated the posters and the cash boxes and wrote on them in different languages including Arabic.

    Paint a Bin to donate to public schools and orphanages. Students will paint (specially treated) trash bins and we will use some for recycling at CAC and some to donate to public schools. We are aiming at making 10 bins this year as a beginning.
