Community Service
We all want children to think and act with respect and kindness and begin to understand ideas of fairness, equality, and justice. That’s the foundation for a happy, safe future for all our neighborhoods and communities… and, later, for the country and planet!
Abby, Elmo, and Rosita begin the Little Neighbors Club
