Community
Responsible Citizenship
Not only do our students graduate with strong character, but they learn the value of becoming active, responsible leaders in their community. As our Mission notes, we place a strong emphasis on responsible citizenship, which is fostered through the numerous community service opportunities at our school. These activities nourish empathy, open students to new perspectives, and promote kindness and compassion. All students are encouraged to participate in service projects during their time at LFCDS. Participation is required for students in Grades 7 and 8.
