Giving Back
Giving back to the community is an essential value that helps foster a sense of responsibility, compassion, and connection. For the children at Nest, this can take many forms—whether through volunteer work, supporting local businesses, or organizing initiatives that address community needs. When children contribute to their community, they not only make a positive impact but also develop important life skills such as teamwork, empathy, and leadership. Moreover, giving back provides students with a deeper understanding of the world around them and encourages them to think beyond themselves, shaping them into well-rounded, engaged citizens who understand the value of helping others.
Mini farmers market to raise money for Convoy of Hope
