Tigers Together

Upper School Students Work and Play With LES and UES Students

This winter, more than 30 Upper School students made their way to Old Church Road on a regular basis to spend time with Lower Elementary School during the Afters program and Upper Elementary School during Tiger Time, a club period. During the volunteer program organized by The Center for Public Good, Upper Schoolers generously and patiently shared their time and talents with their younger classmates, playing board games, engaging in service projects, and doing crafts and science projects.

Upper School students who participate in the LES Afters programs support co-teachers by facilitating activities. Our youngest children look up to the Upper Schoolers and anticipate their arrival each week. These opportunities for the oldest and youngest to get together build Tiger Pride and community.”

Pairing Upper Elementary students with our Upper Schoolers not only cultivates a strong sense of community and collaboration, but also offers valuable role models and mentors for our students. The service projects organized by CPG present a unique opportunity for students of different ages to work together towards a common goal, while honing important skills such as empathy, leadership, and communication.”
