Students, Teachers, Staff, Parents, Alumni and Friends:

Celebrating Community is a year-long, school-wide community service effort to commemorate our commitment to service, community and our 30th anniversary of St. Margaret’s Episcopal School.

crest30St. Margaret’s Episcopal School is challenging all members of our community to commit the 2009-2010 school year to community service, with a school-wide goal of 30,000 hours of service. Through this effort, we endeavor to advance our longstanding commitment to service and community, provide new and foster existing service learning experiences for our students and help those in our community.

We need your help: Together, we will reach this goal through involvement with local charitable organizations and service projects, creating new ones, sharing what we’re already doing and encouraging others to get involved.

We’ve aligned the Celebrating Community effort with the Episcopal Church’s focus on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals to end extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.We’re focusing on these goals because the world has collectively defined these issues as the most urgent we face across the globe, and that progress can be made to reach these goals in all corners of the world, near and far, in our own communities.
