The Sunshine Scoop

Caring Crew Collage

The Caring Crew was started by our school counselors, Mrs. Akpinar and Mrs. Robinson this year to support students in grades 3–6 while helping them learn the importance of service and compassion. Through this project, students explored a variety of community organizations that support individuals in need and completed meaningful projects for each organization.

Students supported Hugs for Soldiers by creating heartfelt cards of appreciation for military servicemembers deployed abroad to thank them for their service and sacrifice. Students prepared bags of trail mix for the Lamb Center's homeless day program. Students also created snack bags for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House and assembled hygiene kits for families supported through Cornerstones’ shelter program. In addition, students planted a sensory garden and yellow tulips in the front of Louise Archer Elementary School.

The Caring Crew has provided students with valuable opportunities to develop a sense of belonging while giving back, building empathy, and making a positive impact in the community. Thank you to these amazing students and our fabulous school counselors for their tremendous work!

Does your child require a school-issued laptop during summer break? Some reasons they might need access to their computer include attendance at summer academic programs or other academic interventions. If this applies to you, please complete and submit this form to request a school-issued laptop for use during Summer 2026. By submitting this form, you agree to the requirements for your student's use of the device at home.
