Community
Community Enrichment is a program that strives to provide Lower School students with opportunities to not only learn about but also practice IB Learner Profiles. Themes such as Caring, Communicating, Risk-Taking, Open-mindedness, Principled and Reflective are reinforced through the reading of children’s storybooks with similar themes, followed by Hopes and Dreams discussions and setting goals for the year.
Community is also structured to address additional themes of Service, Spirit, and Buddy times. Through service-themed communities, students will apply the lessons learned and the goals they set in service activities that support the school, community, and world at large. Through Spirit themed communities, students learn more about St. Mary’s school culture and history in order to build more Falcon Pride. Through Buddy themed communities, Lower School students are paired with their buddies in another grade to model and exercise their world-sized hearts.
