The 4th/5th Grade Service Learning Project Needs Your Support
Many young children in our area are in need of help! Some students do not have basic school supplies including backpacks, pencils, markers, paper—and this makes school more challenging for them. The 4th and 5th grade students at Clairbourn School have partnered with the nonprofit organization, Sydney Paige, to raise funds to buy school supplies for Estrella Elementary School in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Donate Today:
Support the On-Campus Fundraising Events:
You can also support our on-campus events running from February 20 to February 26. These activities include Change for Change, a bake sale, and a Blaze Pizza Restaurant Fundraiser—all of which will raise money for Estrella Elementary School supplies!
Stay tuned for more videos about Clairbourn’s 4th and 5th grade service learning project.
