Citizenship means being an active member of your community.  (Community can be your; world, country, state, town, school or neighborhood) Citizenship is learning the importance of contributing to school and community. It is having compassion and showing kindness through serving and helping others.

​

Our schools and communities are better places when everyone contributes by serving and helping one another.

Citizenship – How to teach it and how to show it

 

• Always model showing kindness and helping others.

• Encourage your children to help you pick up trash in your neighborhood, donate non-perishable foods to a food bank, or donate old clothing and toys.

• Take your child with you when you vote.

• Attend community events together – such as parades or the neighborhood farmers market.

• Together, volunteer for a community service project that focuses on helping others.

 

Help your child learn to give something back to the community where you live.
