Community Service
At St. Vincent de Paul Elementary School, we emphasize the importance of service. We want our students to embrace community service as a meaningful endeavor. Following our Student Learning Expectations for a Catholic Learner, each child learns to effectively display a spirit of Christian service to others. It is important that students recognize the impact and rewards of service and learn to be responsible citizens
Community
Schoolwide Community Service
Schoolwide community service projects, led by students at all grade levels, include an annual canned food collection, Christmas Toy Drive, and a lemonade stand to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
Free Dress for Charity
Each month a class sponsors our monthly “Free Dress for Charity” fundraisers. On this day, for a $1 donation, students are allowed to forgo their uniform for the day and wear free dress. The proceeds for these monthly fundraisers go to charities such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Catholic Charities, and many more.
Student Community Service
Students in 6th grade and Junior High engage in individual acts of service to our community. These acts of humility and kindness teach them how they can make a difference in the world, even with a seemingly small outreach. Service takes a wide variety of forms and actions of selfless assistance to worthy non-profit organizations throughout Northern California. At the end of each trimester, students reflect on their service, how they made a difference and how it changed them and their outlook.
Church Service
Offering service to our parish church has a long tradition amongst St. Vincent de Paul students. Whether it is in altar service, acting as a lector, sharing voices in song in the choir, or beautifying the church with the flower ministry, our students are able to witness the wide variety of programs that St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church offers and then find their place in them.
